workspaces....where are they?

[grant_PD]

So I copied over my old workspace into VW 2008 (on a vista 64 machine). The first time vw told me that it had succesfully converted the workspace. Then every subsequent time it reconverted it to a new workspace (grant...grant1...grant2...etc) until I got wise and went to remove the orginal 12.5 workspace file. When I looked in the file (workspaces) however, only my original 12.5 workspace was there! None of the new converted ones were present? Where are they?

Probably in the user area. On a Mac for instance it's in:

Username/Library/Application Support/VectorWorks/2008/Workspaces/

[grant_PD]

!!!!! Now there's not even a Folder! Just a library file!

From the VectorWorks 12 VectorScript Guide under How Plug-ins Work":

The user's Plug-Ins folder exists in a platform-specific location.

On Windows, C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data

\Nemetschek\VectorWorks\xx\Plug-Ins, where xx represents the

current VectorWorks version number, and username refers to the name

of the current user logged into the computer

On Macintosh, /Users/username/Library/Application Support/

VectorWorks/xx/Plug-Ins, where xx represents the current

VectorWorks version number, and username refers to the name of the

current user logged into the computer

You would be looking for a fodler called Workspaces instead of Plug-Ins.

[grant_PD]

but in vista (at least 64) there's no Documents and settings folder.

Try C:\Users\username\Application Data

\Nemetschek\VectorWorks\2008\Workspaces

And check out these web sites about what happened with Vista.
