Hi, I was recently handed some VW 9 (!) plans of a theatre with the request that I create new files in more recent versions of VW. The files open fine, but there are elements (lines, text, etc). that are locked (this is true for the extremely out of date title block). How can I gain access to these "locked" elements to manipulate them, or do I simply need to start the drawing all over again? rick
