Re: XML from Visio and the validity of a $3 bill [was RE: FM7-- Visio Import Filter]

of SVG into FrameMaker yields anything but "scaled vectors." It
imports as a raster image at a user designated resolution. 
I cannot in good conscience recommend SVG import into FrameMaker
for any purpose whatsoever!
