Online Visio file conversion

The nice folks over at Computer Systems Odessa (they make ConceptDraw) have made available a web service to convert files from the binary .vsd file format to the Visio XML document format, .vdx.

So, if you’re stuck with a bunch of native Visio documents but don’t have access to Visio 2002 or Visio 2003, you can use this to convert them to the XML format.

Check it out.

I expect this to become a very handy thing to have at hand, thanks and kudos to the ConceptDraw folks!

Those crazy Ukrainians are just the best.

Still no hope for poor old orphan StencilIt or TopDown files; alas.

I tried ConceptDraw’s utility, but OmniGraffle (Professional 4.1) would not open the resulting .vdx files. Not sure what the problem is…
