Is it possible to export a WF chart to visio?

I would like to be able to export my WF diagram from visual studio 2008 to Visio so that I can better show it to non-programmers. Dose, does anyone know if this is possible? I still haven't come across any mention of this and I don't see anything popping up at me from VS.

[EDIT: WF = Windows Workflow Foundation]

In the designer, click the "Workflow" menu item and select "Save as Image" or "Copy to Clipboard"

I'll say in advance that I don't know exactly what a WWF diagram looks like, but it would not be possible to simply export the diagram to a JPEG file. If all you have to do is show it to people, the image will probably work fine.

Sort, sorting. I don't know if you / your company have a budget for this, but I have worked with K2 Workflow running inside Visio. You can create a workflow in Visio and associate it with items in a Workflow / Windows Workflow workflow. Take a picture of http://www.k2.com . It's cheap for developers to start with, but gets very expensive at a high level.

(no, this is not a shameless plugin, just a product that I like :-))

There is no Workflow menu in VS2015, but you can right-click in Designer to navigate to the Copy As Image and Save As Image options.

I had my most success with the XPS format, which displayed well even when zoomed in, and can be viewed with the built-in XPS viewer in Windows.
