Convert DWG to VSDX

Understanding DWG and VSDX file formats

DWG is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two and three-dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including AutoCAD. DWG files are widely used in the engineering, architecture, and design industries for creating detailed drawings and plans.

VSDX is a file format used by Microsoft Visio, a diagramming and vector graphics application. VSDX files are used to create a variety of diagrams, including flowcharts, organizational charts, and network diagrams. This format is based on Open Packaging Conventions and is the default file format for Visio 2013 and later versions.

How to convert DWG to VSDX

Converting a DWG file to a VSDX file involves transforming a CAD drawing into a Visio diagram. This process is useful for professionals who need to incorporate detailed design data into a more visually-oriented diagramming tool like Visio.

Best software for DWG to VSDX conversion

One of the best software options for converting DWG to VSDX is Autodesk AutoCAD in combination with Microsoft Visio. Here’s how you can perform the conversion:

• Open the DWG file in AutoCAD.
• Use the File → Export option to save the drawing as a DXF file, which is a more compatible format for Visio.
• Open Microsoft Visio and use the File → Open option to import the DXF file.
• Once the file is open in Visio, you can save it as a VSDX file using the File → Save As option.
