bbrown6 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I've got several old files, some were MiniCad, others... fairly early versions of VW. I had not been diligent on converting my old work to more current versions and now do not have the skill set or the hardware / OS / older VW versions to successfully make my older files visible and working again. I'd be interested in hiring someone on a consulting basis to try and tackle this. I could send one or two of the older files to see if someone has the wherewithal to help out. I'm currently on macOS Catalina, 10.15.7 (the last OS that will run on my older 27 inch iMac (no plans to update soon...) I can be reached directly at bjbaia@comcast.net Thanks Brian 2 Quote Link to comment
Marco Zavagno Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 ok if you have MiniCAD files means you are an old dinosaur like me... Have u tried calling the support and asking for the link for the converter? I do remember there was some converter form MiniCAD to VWx 10 or 11... it might still be there somewhere! I'm sorry I can't be of any more help! Cheers and Ciao(s) Marco 1 Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Hello, @bbrown6. I just saw this post. How many files are you talking about? I have the old software and Ye Olde Systems needed to do conversions. Please send me a PM if you still need help. Raymond Quote Link to comment

MullinRJ Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Peter, Do you still have the file in question? You can send it this way if you want. Raymond Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I also have old versions of Vectorworks that can convert MiniCAD files, and even MiniCAD, if my Mac Classic still runs... Quote Link to comment
