Has anyone had an issue opening a file with the following error message and managed to resolve it without losing the entire file (i.e. weeks of work in this case)? It was created in VW 2021, moved to a new computer via Dropbox and I get the same message whether i open it from my desktop or dropbox. I have also tried opening it in a newer version of VW but have the same issue. I've also tried opening earlier versions of the same file but no luck.
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 It may be a Vectorworks file created by a newer version of the application, it may be a very old MiniCad file, it may have been created by another application, or it may have been corrupted by a hardware or system error.
