VSDM Troubleshooting

Common VSDM Opening Problems

Microsoft Visio is Not Installed

When trying to open your VSDM file, you get the error "Can't Open VSDM File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Visio for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your VSDM with Microsoft Visio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Visio installed, and you know of another program to open your VSDM file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Microsoft Visio Version

In other instances, your Microsoft Visio 2013 Macro-Enabled Drawing Data file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visio. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Visio installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Right-clicking on your VSDM, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Visio version on your computer can cause problems opening VSDM files.
