  • Note to people considering closing this question as off-topic, being about an application: I consider it on topic as a question about a tool used by network professionals.

  • @JFL, while Visio may be a tool commonly used by network engineers, Visio support would be found on Super User, and Visio for OSX may be found on Ask Different, but the question is really asking for an off-topic product or resource recommendation.

VSD files are Microsoft Visio files (commonly used for Network Diagrams among other things).

You have two ways to open it on OSX that I am aware of:

  • Use a Windows Virtual Machine and install either Microsoft Viso (payed) or the free Visio Viewer

  • Install the native OSX program Omnigraffle (payed - trial available)

There may be other programs able to open Visio files though.

    It appears there are vsd-to-pdf converters online which might help too.
