Visio Image Rebuilder

Core Rule

Recreate the reference as editable Visio content. Do not satisfy a rebuild request by inserting the whole reference image into the page. Embedding the reference image is only allowed as a temporary locked tracing layer if it is removed or hidden before delivery and the final .vsdx remains native shapes, text, connectors, and groups.

Treat .vsdx as the source of truth. Export PNG, SVG, PDF, or PPTX only after the Visio page has been rebuilt or restyled and checked for native editability.

Workflow

1. Inspect inputs.
   • Confirm paths for the target .vsdx, reference image, requested output formats, and output directory.
   • Export the current Visio page to PNG before editing when a target file already exists.
   • Inspect the .vsdx package for pages, media entries, and shape counts.
   • Back up the target file before any write.
   • If Visio is already open, close only the target document or ask before terminating a stuck process.
