Dear all,

I received a file edited in Visio (vsdx) that I need to edit on my Mac. I can open it with Libre Office and then edit some parts but I thought that maybe someone has a better solution.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Irene

Would this be a possibility?

Unzip and translate the xml?

Did a quick test with some publicly available files. I guess that you have to translate the Page_x.xml files. I didn't test to create the translated Visio file ...

Good Luck!

Thanks, Hans Jan 13, 2023

As far as I can see, the file is not zipped so I wouldn't know how to unzip it ...
I'll give Lucidchart a try.

Hello IBZ,

Lucidchart works extremely well - it has therefore remained my first choice.
But thank you for your suggestion!

Hi Irene,

Yesterday I discovered that omegaT offers a Visio filter.
