[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T320563: Diagram Save to SQL]
Hi at DevE…
And first - thanks for the update to 15.2 :-)
But one of the new things is the diagram function and of course one of the things I started looking at.
is it possible to print/export to pdf the drawn diagram, or ???
We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
Starting with version 16.1, you can print a diagram and/or export it to various image formats. To do this, select corresponding options in the Ribbon Menu:
To export/print a diagram in code, use the Print, QuickPrint and ExportDiagram methods.
Hi Jeffrey,
I've created a separate ticket on your behalf (T575085: Export diagram to PDF). It has been placed in our processing queue and will be answered shortly.
Thanks,
Alexander

Hi,
At present, DiagramControl does not support the export/print functionality. I have passed your idea to our developers. They will certainly consider it for our future updates. To know what new features and controls we introduce, follow our announcements when new major or minor versions are released.
the reason why we renew our license is because of that new great diagram control to compete over NEVRON.
The saveAS . different format or Print or export as slide would be so great for our Customers who want to integrate Slide to there document control system that we developped with DevExpress.
Please consider it very very important.
Great Control , good job and continue.
Hello,
Thank you for your kind words. We greatly appreciate your ideas and they would help us further develop our DiagramControl. Would you elaborate on the functionality you need? What do you mean by "Slide"? How should it be integrated into the document system?
I strongly support (vote) for print and export functionality. Also copy to clipboard and past to MS Office documents is something what our end users expect as standard functionality. As i see diagram control does not have connection object for database (vote for it too).

Hello,
We have plans to implement exporting. Also, we are considering the scenario with connecting to a data base.
As for copy/paste to MS Office. Do you mean the full integration like Visio does or you want to copy shapes like images? Copied shapes from Visio into Word documents are represented by OLE objects.
Hello, full integration (OLE) is better, but any copy (images) should help on some level. Did you think about copying to Devexpress richedit control and Devexpress spreadsheet control? In present time diagram is only picture on monitor. Can't print, can't export, can't copy, no connection with database.

Hi Igor,
Let's discuss the diagram copy-paste functionality in a separate thread: T327748 - DiagramControl - Improve the copy-paste functionality.
As for exporting, what formats are the most important in your scenario?
Thanks,
Alex
Print and PDF export is really a minimum requirement for such a control.
We also need the PDF export function and IMG
DiagramControl is intensively developed and we are doing our best to support all possible scenarios. We are planning to implement export to PDF and image in future releases.
Thanks,
Alexander
Hi,
We also need PDF export.
Is it possible to have visibility about roadmap of this feature ?
1 month ? 1 year ? 10 years ?
Thanks
Hi Dimitri,
Your interest in our controls is greatly appreciated. Of course, we understand that printing and exporting are very important for DiagramControl, so this is one of our prioritized tasks. I however cannot make any promises about the time frame mainly because by promising a feature, our customers may end up planning their development schedules around our promised feature set, which can change at any time.
Thanks,
Alexander
Hi, I also wait for print/export for diagrams, im kinda amazed that its not there. I think that diagrams could be great add to DX functionality .
