FAQ
VTX to SHP Conversion
What are VTX files?
VTX is the Visio XML Template format, the template counterpart of the VDX drawing, introduced with Visio 2003. A file of this type is an uncompressed XML document that holds the page setup, drawing scale, styles, colors, and a set of masters for creating new diagrams, in the same human-readable form as an XML drawing. It is used where templates need to be generated or modified by scripts or stored in text-based version control. Opening it in Visio creates a new untitled drawing, and the template itself stays unchanged. Newer Visio versions use the compressed VSTX format for templates.
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.
