Importing MS Word files with CGMs inside

Post by gm1 »

Is there a way to import MS Word DOC files containing a lot of CGM vector drawings without creating the drawings again as SVGs? All CGMs were created in Solidworks Composer, and they could be saved as SVGs, but as far as I remember MS Word did not support SVGs. Converting CGMs to raster images will not do. Vectorization must be maintained.

I know that positioning, croping, and adding borders will always be required after importing the drawings into Flare. But maybe there is a workaround to at least extract these CGMs from .doc on the fly to convert them later to SVGs.

If a DOC manual has about 50 CGM drawings, it would be a huge amount of work to move this one manual to Flare.
