BNM Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi, I'm on a MAC G5 OS 10.4.10 Im on VW12.0.1, a co-worker is on VW12.5. Each time he saves a drawing for me, I cannot open the document it opens in TEXT EDIT!!? Its very frustrating. Surely there cannot be compatibility issues between different versions of VW12? I've tried updating, but nothings happened. We are at a loss!! Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Have you tried going into vectorworks first, and going through file and open? If that works, maybe make sure that he has the append file extension on in the Vectorworks preferences, as the meta information might be getting stripped during the transferring. HTH, ion Quote Link to comment
BNM Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 yea, if I go through file - open , the file seems to open up, but even then when I save, its still listed as a Text Edit document and not a VW document. Thanks for the suggestion. We checked, and the append file extensions box is checked on. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Right click on a VW file and choose "Get Info" Expand "Open With" Choose "Other.." Select the VW 12 application Choose it from the list Click OK When prompted, apply the change to all files. You may want to also ask your associate to do the same. Quote Link to comment
