Convert VDX to ODG

What is VDX file?

The VDX file extension primarily functions as a vector graphics file. Developed by Microsoft Visio, the VDX file is saved in a binary format that contains vector graphics, text, and other components of the drawings and diagrams created with Visio. It is encoded in an XML structure, making it readable by multiple applications and with the ability to store data in it. The original Visio vector graphic format was VSD, and the VDX format was introduced with Visio 2003 as an alternative. [ ⏩ ] VDX file extension

How to convert the file from VDX to ODG?

To successfully convert the VDX file to ODG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VDX).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VDX to ODG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting VDX files to ODG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ODG, while before this step we had the VDX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ODG file, or not.
