this post is quite old, but I am new on Vectorworks and I am working on it for some jobs with an associate.
He's on Mac, me on PC.

Hi,
Can anyone help, are PC and mac vectorworks files easily interchangeable, eg. if I get a mac file, will I be able to easily open it on PC (assuming both are running the same version).
Hi Mark,
From Mac to PC and PC to MAC, both of us can easily open the files VWX2019.
The drawings are ok, the Vectorworks objects (doors, walls...) are also ok...
But some basics features are driving us crazy :
- Multiline texts can are all disturbed !
Perhaps due to the fonts formats ?
But we didn't had any problem on Adobe suite for those fonts...
- Pages setup are inconsistent...
When you want to print a drawing with multipage setting, it seems hard to have the exact same dimension of page between PC and Mac !?

UNLESS you are attempting to have both Macs and PCs access the same files from a cheap NAS
You're ritght Jim, but I had the same problem on Archicad, Autocad, and even Word, and Excel...
Multiple access to the same "NAS" file are always quite risky if you are using both Macs and PCs !
