Is there a way to convert SVG to VSD or VSDX using this or other tools? #23

Feel free to close if off-topic, but figured it was related to the project and someone here knows more about this than me.

No, this tool is only for vsd/vss to svg.

I've no knowledge of a tool to do that, but you could try to take a look at programs like libreoffice and see if it allows to save as vsd/vsdx. If it's the case, you could try to figure out which libraries they are using.

However, looking quickly at what exists, I'm not confident such tool exists (apart from Visio). The most critical need is reading VSD/VSDX to import them in other tools (like yEd, draw.io, LO draw...), writing is more of a "nice to have" and may be implemented if the read part was ok, from developing this tool I can tell you that it is far from perfect unfortunately...
