Pat Thanks! the .MCD extension works wonders! All I need now is to figure out how to print from VW9.5 without a dongle. I can't find the ones we had or a record of how we tied the serial numbers to the dongles even if they do turn up! Regards Kevan

Another issue I have is the VW 9.5 install says it needs a dongle. We were running 4 seats of VW back in the day but I don't know where the dongles are assuming they have not been thrown out. This install in demo mode is refusing to recognise any of the files even with 9.5 headers!

Ok I can't post either file as they are showing as unsupported file types. Can you send me an email address I can send them to? This project was developed over 3 or 4 years so it is likely the drawings were created and opened with different versions of VectorWorks over that period! Thanks

OK tried that, one of the files says N Vectorworks 9.5.1 another says N VectorWorks 9.5 another says N VectorWorks 9, none will open with the 9.5 install I currently have. Other files don't have anything like VectorWorks in the header but are titled as the detail drawings. I don't know what they could be as we were only using Vectorworks back then! What was the situation pre VectorWorks ( with header info? Thanks Kevan Thanks

H, I need to open some Vectorworks drawings from 2003. So far I have recovered a Vectorworks 9.5 install however this isn't opening the drawings. Any Idea where i could find an install that will do this? I am using a 200 iMac running Mac OS 9.5 and Mac OSX so would like to try the install on this I doubt I will get anywhere with a current MacOS on my Macbook Pro! Thanks Kevan
