FAQ
VDX to SHP Conversion
What are VDX files?
VDX is the Visio XML Drawing format introduced with Visio 2003 as a plain-text alternative to the binary VSD. A file of this type is a single uncompressed XML document that describes the pages, shapes, masters, styles, colors, fonts, and shape data of a diagram, so it can be read, searched, and generated by programs other than Visio. It was widely used for integration with databases, workflow tools, and reporting systems, and it was kept as a save option in Visio 2007 and 2010. Because nothing is compressed, VDX files are noticeably larger than VSD or VSDX files of the same diagram, and embedded images are stored as encoded text.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
