So, at 17 and a half years on, does this problem still exist for many? I have only been a Vectorworks user since January 2022. It seems since the support expired on my licence, I have been having similar issues. Although this maybe because I have not needed to copy files across from a server onto my mac.
Each time I open a document which is the correct file and working on other machines, the error of "This is an unrecognised 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 It may be a Vectorworks file created by a newer version of the application, it may be a very old MiniCAD file, it may have been created by another application, or it may have been corrupted by hardware or system."
Click okay, and then another dialog box opens up which says "This file was created with an older version of Vectorworks. It will be converted and opened with the new name:...
Then it just doesn't open. Any further advice or fixes since 2006? This only happens with files that aren't made using my version of VWX.
Thanks in advance 🙂
