To open a VSMX diagram with a version of Embed that does not support VSMX format

Embed 2021.1 and earlier versions do not support VSMX diagrams.

 

1.    Open the VSMX diagram with any archiver software.

2.    If no third-party archivers are installed, change the file extension from VSMX to ZIP so Windows will be able to read the file.

3.    Copy all the files, except the one named descriptor, to the destination directory of your choice.

Note: The files must reside in the same destination directory.

4.    Using your version of Embed, open the VSM file whose name matches the archive name.
