You can import
shapes from Microsoft® Visio files.
In order to import a Visio file in its native format (*.vsd), a licensed copy of Visio 2003 must be installed on
your computer. Alternatively, you can
save a Visio file as XML Drawing (*.vdx) and the XML
drawing file can then be imported without Visio 2003 on your computer.
· Visio import is supported only for Visio 2003 diagrams.
· The Visio file must not be open in Visio when you attempt to import it.
· The Cut/Copy and Paste commands cannot be used to import a Visio diagram as a model.
· Shapes and their labels will be transferred, but formatting (line colors, fill colors, etc.) will not.
