I have a .vsdx file and I'm not able to open it in Visio 2010. Does anybody know how to open it?

Thanks!

Sory! but you need Visio 2013.

[santiagop]

Is there no service pack to solve it?

[RodrigoDG]

Not that I know

I just had to work with .vsdx files. What I did was to convert them into .vsd using visio 2017. Indeed, .vsd extemsion is much more compatible with other programs or Add-Ins.

You´re right nabylm. Visio 2017 now supports .vsdx files, but it's still more useful to work with .vsd files

Do you know why .vsdx is still used now that .vsd is the generic extension for Visios?

Hi Nabylm, you have the answer in this link from the Microsoft support site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....aspx#Anchor_0

...Because of its XML structure, and not binary. Kind of the same as for xlsx, xlsd, etc...
Thanks santiagop!
