steneyck Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I used to have no problem going back and forth with LW and VW. I had to re-install VW 11.5 and LW 4.1.2 and now it is not working. When I go to export instrument data from VW all is fine. Importing data to LW is fine. Exporting data out of LW is fine. Importing into VW is not successful. It orphans units on my drawing with the data in different fields. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Mickey Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Holy smokes batman! We are encountering a similar problem here in our office. We thought we where doing something wrong. Have you tried then export/import the data into a new LW file? When we do this the data is in all kinds of differnt places. Like position being purpose, and purpose being isntrument type. Have you e-mailed John? Quote Link to comment
steneyck Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have tried with a new LW file - which works just fine. My issues is going from LW back into VW. I spoke with John and he suggested trying to put the fields in the order that VW exports. I did this - but still am having problems. It seems like LW export is where the glitch is - and John suggested there is a script for VW which will fix it. Do you know of such a script? Quote Link to comment
steneyck Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 OK - I figured it out. I did not select the button in LW which states: "Fill blanks with -" Once selected the import back to VW works just fine. Quote Link to comment
