If you received a VSD file, ask your client to save it as XML Drawing (*.vdx).<ref>Read this article to learn [http://www.ehow.com/how_8781870_convert-vsd-files-visio-xml.html how to save VSD files as VDX files]</ref>. As of [[Wordfast Pro]] v. 3.2, Visio (VDX) files can be translated directly just as any other supported file format without the need to write custom conversion rules. Use '''''File''''' menu > '''''Open''''' to open the file. When you finish translation, use '''''File''''' menu > '''''Save Translated File''''' to get the target file in the same *.vdx format.<br />

== Obsolete Method ==<br />
<br />
Versions of [[Wordfast Pro]] before 3.2 used to require conversion rules to open VDX files.<br />
<br />
* To be able to open a VDX file in older versions of Wordfast Pro, you need to create a new filter. Download the [[Visio Conversion Rules (*.properties)]] file.<br />
* To add the new filter, open Wordfast Pro '''''Edit''''' menu.<br />
* Select '''''Preferences''''' > '''''Formats''''' > '''''New'''''.<br />
* Select '''''Text-based Filter'''''.<br />
* Type any name for the new filter.<br />
* Change the '''''Extension''''' to '''''*.vdx'''''<br />
* Click the browse '''''[...]''''' button to locate the Conversion Rules (*.properties) file.<br />
* Click '''''Apply''''' and '''''OK'''''.<br />
* Now, you should be able to open any VDX file for translation in Wordfast Pro.<br />
* Open [[Wordfast Pro]] '''''File''''' menu.<br />
* Select '''''Open file'''''. (You can open any number of Visio files with the same filter.) Select the Visio file you want to open.<br />
* Complete the translation of your TXML file, as usual.<br />
* To generate the final translated Visio (*.vdx) file, open [[Wordfast Pro]] '''''File''''' menu and select '''''Save Translated File'''''.<ref>If you want to preview Visio files and you do NOT have MS Visio, you can [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21701 download Visio Viewer] for FREE.</ref><ref>Read this article to learn [http://www.ehow.com/how_6388591_open-vdx.html how to open VDX files in MS Visio].</ref><ref>This vidoe illustrates the process of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ira0VLw8-ng translating Visio files in older versions of Wordfast Pro].</ref><br />
