ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Supports MS Visio File Format, and Other Remarkable Facts About ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is the only product that supports Visio legacy and new document standards, runs on Macintosh and Windows, and is a perpetual license.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM has been the go-to product for individuals and organizations for a long time. There may be a few things in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM that you may not know about.

  1. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can import and export files in MS Visio’s (2013/2016/365/2019/2021) native file format, VSDX.
    Why this is important is because it provides you with compatibility with the new generation of Visio file format. You can find Visio documents just about everywhere that address just about everything, but if you have an interest beyond just viewing them, you will need a good tool like ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.

  2. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM will import MS Visio’s (2003/2010) native VSD and VDX file format. This is important is because if you looked at all of the Visio documents floating around the world, most of them are in this older file format.
    Even though VSD and VDX were the standard formats when Visio 2010 shipped, many 3rd-party vendors still use this format to exchange documents. Now, the large number of Visio documents is divided between the older standard and the newer standard. Fortunately ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users do not have to worry which generation of product created the drawing you want to view, edit, and distribute.

  3. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM imports either generation of MS Visio stencils (VSS or VSSX) to speed up the drawing process.
    This is important because stencils are collections of objects that can be used in drawings to speed up one’s work. In addition to importing stencils, when one opens a document for the first time all of the drawing objects that are not provided by ConceptDraw DIAGRAM are automatically placed in a new custom library for you to save and reuse.
