I’ve tested the import functionality several times with Bizagi models. It always worked out, until now. And I’d like to stress, that I am willing to even pay for it, just to save the hours we worked on it. So… I hope somebody can save my butt.
So after the modeling session ended, I saved all four(could upload only two for this post) diagrams. But this time I could not reopen any of them. I get the following error log output.

One workaround that worked partially
The file “Reusable Subprocess - Funktionalität des Systems sicherstellen.bpmn” was recovered, because the online editor was able to open the diagram. I then downloaded the file from the online editor. The Desktop editor was able to open that file. Unfortunately, this workaround did not do the trick for the other three models.
My question
Is there anything I can do, to make the the editor at least render the XML data, so I can create a new file?
Good news
I managed to correct the XML code to a point, where the online editor would open the file. This is literally the meaing of the german saying “Ein blindes Huhn findet auch mal ein Korn”.
That issue got addressed with Camunda Modeler v1.12.0 (released last week) and in our toolkits (released end of last year).
The Bizagi export still has a couple of issues such as missing visual bpmn:DataObjectReference elements to represent modeled data objects. This is why you see quite a long list of warnings on demo.bpmn.io:
