Microsoft Visio 2010 (64-bit)

Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Visio (formerly Microsoft Office Visio) is a diagramming and vector graphics application and is part of the Microsoft Office family. The product was first introduced in 1992, made by the Shapeware Corporation. It was acquired by Microsoft in 2000.

Microsoft made Visio 2013 for Windows available in two editions: Standard and Professional. The Standard and Professional editions share the same interface, but the Premium edition has additional templates for more advanced diagrams and layouts, as well as capabilities intended to make it easy for users to connect their diagrams to data sources and to display their data graphically. The Premium edition features three additional diagram types, as well as intelligent rules, validation, and subprocess (diagram breakdown).Visio Professional is also offered as an additional component of ansubscription.
On 22 September 2015, Visio 2016 was released alongside Microsoft Office 2016. A few new features have been added such as one-step connectivity with Excel data, information rights management (IRM) protection for Visio files, modernized shapes for office layout, detailed shapes for site plans, updated shapes for floor plans, modern shapes for home plans, IEEE compliant shapes for electrical diagrams, new range of starter diagrams, and new themes for the Visio interface.
Database modeling in Visio revolves around a Database Model Diagram (DMD).

File formats

Visio 2010 and earlier versions read and write drawings in VSD or VDX file formats. All of the previous versions of Visio used VSD, the proprietary binary-file format. VDX is a well-documented XML Schema-based ("DatadiagramML") format.
Visio 2013 drops support for writing VDX files in favor of the new VSDX and VSDM file formats.Created based on Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard (ISO 29500, Part 2), a VSDX or VSDM file consists of a group of XML files archived inside a Zip file. VSDX and VSDM files differ only in that VSDM files may contain macros.Since these files are susceptible to macro virus infection, the program enforces strict security on them.^[8]
While VSD files use LZW-like lossless compression, VDX is not compressed. Hence, a VDX file typically take up 3 to 5 times more storage.^{[citation needed]} VSDX and VSDM files use the same compression as Zip files. Visio 2010 and earlier use VSD by default. Visio 2013's default is VSDX.
