A Visio drawing XML file can be created by using the Visio software, a program developed by Microsoft with a set of integrated features for generating visual documents used in business presentations and documentation. The content stored in a Visio drawing XML file includes the visual objects entered by the Microsoft Visio user, and metadata details associated to these visual elements can also be included. Text content can also be added to these visual charts and diagrams that have been stored in a Visio drawing XML file by the Microsoft Visio user. These Visio drawing XML files are integrated with XML-based formatting standards and image data encoding specifications that allow its content to be rendered and stored by the Microsoft Visio software in the VDX file format. These Visio drawing XML files are appended with the .vdx extension. The CS Odessa ConceptDraw PRO has a version designed for Mac platforms, and there is also a version of this program that can be installed in Microsoft Windows-based systems to implement support for creating and editing these Visio drawing XML files.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .vdx files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .vdx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
