    'Unrecognised File' Error Message

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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!

    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 It may be a Vectorworks file  created by a newer version of the application, it may be a very old MiniCad file, it may have been created by another application, or it may have been corrupted by a hardware or system error"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

    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!
