convert .vsdx to .vdx
New to Visio and have been tasked with how to convert a .vsdx from Visio 2013 to a .vdx format. Looked all over and haven't discovered anything that works as of yet. Is there a file converter out there that will do so? Or is there some hidden voodoo within Visio 2013 that will do it that I haven't found?

I'm not sure if there's a converter, but, the feature to save-as-VDX was removed in Visio2013:

No hidden voo-doo because it is a waste of time. Both scenarios are already xml (although based upon different schemas). You could probably save the vsdx file as a v2010 file and then use v2010 to save as vdx (yes it is a dumb idea). I've heard of those that had already created applications based upon the vdx schema, but IMHO the amount of work to reverse a vsdx to vdx would take more time than just rewriting the data reduction application they were already working with.

Hello Don,

I wonder how you define  'helpful' and 'answer'?

If I state a problem my expectations are:

1.) the 'answer' solves the problem 

2.) and being 'helpful' offers a workaround or leads me to further research to find an answer

IMHO your answer did none of those

Tom
