Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if anyone here has taken a Illustrator sitemap and converted it into a Visio
sitemap. Information on any third-party tools and processes used would be very helpful.

Office programs have a good feature in them called PASTE SPECIAL
 
Copy your Sitemap in illustrator
In Visio choose EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL
A dialog will come up choose PICTURE (enhanced metafile)
This should paste the sitemap into Visio as vector data
Then in Visio select the pasted sitemap and choose SHAPE > GROUPING > CONVERT TO GROUP
This will convert the EMF picture to Grouped Visio Art. 
To edit, ungroup.
