bonus Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Having used VW from old minicad 6 days, a lot of old files have become too old to be opened with current applications. Is there a clever way to regenerate all old files to 2008 level, without having to open/save/close etc file by file? Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Batch Convert menu command will do all the conversion work for you, but it only goes back to version 7 or 8 files, I think. But on the Nemetscheck web site you can get the version 9 File translator, which I believe will translate version 5 or 6 files to version 9, then you could use batch convert on those files to 2008. You can get the File Translator (version 9) here: http://www.nemetschek.net/downloads/fundamentals/index.php Going ths far back though, there may be some anomalies with the converted files, I would use with caution.

bonus Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ok thank you! I will try this. I have all files on a backup disk, in case conversions gets wild. Windows took a space walk when converting from 11 to 12, as I remember, so yes, I'll be cautious. Quote Link to comment
