Hi Tom I've just tried this and sadly I get the same error message when I try. Thank you for trying to help though... very kind of you. Enjoy your day 🙂

Thank you Kevin. Will make sure I do this going forwards. Definitely don't want a repeat of this again!

Hi rDesign Thank you for letting me know. I'll have to start re-creating it tomorrow then. I'm so upset, I can't believe it can just be wiped like this. Is this a common problem? I'm new to Vectorworks but it's pretty concerning if it is. I will investigate auto back-up however I'm not sure it would have helped in this scenario. Out of interest - the file size on my computer is still showing as approximately 240kb. I would have thought this meant there was still something on the file? Or am I being overly optimistic? 😭 Thanks again both rDesign and Kevin - very kind of the both of you!

Hi Kevin Thank you so much for trying to help!!!!!! I've just attached the file to my original post. My fingers are crossed 🙂 🙂

I really hope someone can help me. My Vectorworks application crashed immediately after saving my work (so I wasn't too worried) yet when I re-booted and tried to open the exact same file I was given the below error message saying that the file is corrupt. "This is an unrecognized file. It may be a Vectorworks file created by a newer version of the application, it may be a very old MiniCad file, it may have been created by another application, or it may have been corrupted by a hardware or system error" I had just finished 2 weeks of work which I was about to submit as coursework (I'm a student studying a diploma in Interior Design). This is an absolute nightmare. I really can't face having to re-do so much work 🙁 If anyone can help I would be extremely grateful as I have a course deadline to meet! Many thanks Laura Project 1D - Nursery - Plan - FINAL.vwx

Thats great. Thank you so much Jim S!

How do you insert a 4-way elevation marker? Also, should it be on the design layer or the sheet layer? Any help would be massively appreciated 🙂

Hi. I am new to Vectorworks and am having a nightmare trying to set-up a title block. I'm studying Interior Design and need to do this in order to submit my current project and move on. I've tried making one as a symbol and also a plug-in following videos ive found online and neither were successful. I just want to have a template which I can re-use from project to project and I'm happy to over-type the data each time, it doesnt need to be linked. What's the best way to do this? Should I save as a template of some sort? Perhaps that way I could save my page preferences and open up a sheet with the title block already saved to the bottom right? I've created the title block design I like... I just don't know how best to add it to my documents each time and the Vectorworks title block border tool is over-complicated and not working out for me sadly! On a final note... how do you delete a Vectorworks title block border? I've got one on my page and its not right and much to my frustration I cant find a way of deleting it! :( I would be so grateful for any advice on this!
