Author	Could anyone here recommend an Inexpensive VECTOR Graphics program that can import Metafiles output from Genopro?

Forum Writer Customers GenoPro version: 2.5.4.0 Last Login: Sunday, September 20, 2015 Posts: 64, Visits: 1,814	Could anyone here recommend an Inexpensive VECTOR Graphics program that can import Metafiles output from Genopro? Please don't name a Bitmap Graphics program like IrfanView, Paint Shop Pro etc. These produce Bitmaps fromVector input. It must be a VECTOR program similar to CorelDraw. I have an old program called Top Draw which would be ideal but it will only import WMF's not the EMF's exported from Genopro. I have tried graphic converters that claim to do EMF to WMF without success. Edited: Sunday, July 22, 2007 by GenoProSupport

Top Draw tells me that it "cannot access clipboard data". I cannot paste into Powerpoint either (no error message just - nothing). I have fixed the problem. Can you download Beta15b again (http://www.genopro.com/beta/InstallGenoProBeta.exe) and confirm the fix? Just curious - What changes have occurred in the graphic structure of the Genogram that prevents Copy and Paste into another graphic application - It worked back in August? Yes, I changed the way the metafile is stored in the clipboard. Originally I was suspecting a memory leak during a copy & paste operation. I changed the code and tested the new code on all my computers (95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista) with applications such as Word, Excel and Paint to discover it worked fine. (I don't have PowerPoint by the way). The documentation for the API `SetClipboardData()` is very sparse and does not explain the transfer of data ownership for the `CF_ENHMETAFILE` parameter. This is nothing new but the norm with Microsoft documentation. You have to find it out by yourself - or by a customer reporting a problem.
