I know this area is really more designated toward dwg/dxf imports, but, being new to vectorworks, I'm just looking for some input that might point to the obvious.
Here's the scenario:
We had an outside design firm put together an exhibit booth design using a combination of custom drawn objects and our standard product, all drawn in vectorworks ver. 12 (or 12.5). We received the file from them, and I had to tweak a few of our items, mainly re-setting them into position, but really nothing more than that.
Many of our customers may still be on ver. 10, so we exported the file to version 10, but when I try to open it back up to make sure everything is there, I get an end of file error, plus another dialog stating that the file may have been created by either a newer version of vw or a old minicad version.
Is this supposed to happen? Is it that only version 10 can open v. 10 files?
Next step is to get tech support to look at the file, maybe there's a corrupt item in the file, that isn't showing up until I try to convert?
