thorin81 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hey all! Kinda new to the VW scene - using Spotlight a lot for my theatre lighting designs. I had the TD send me a VW file of the theatre I am working in, but I cannot get it to open. The error that I get looks like this: THIS FILE WAS SAVED IN THE STUDENT EDITION OF VECTORWORKS. FILES SAVED IN THE STUDENT EDITION CANNOT BE OPENED IN THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION. I am running the 2008 Education version of VW on XP. I thought that the Education version and the Student Edition were the same thing. The file that I am trying to open was created in v11 of VW. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 You can open VW 2008 educational files with VW 2008. To open the files in VW 12, the file has to be exported to a VW 12 or 11 file. Quote Link to comment
thorin81 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I am running 2008 and I still get the error message when I try to open the file I was sent. The original file that I am trying to open was created in VW 11. The problem is I am trying to open a VW11 Student edition file with VW2008 when I get the error message.

thorin81 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 So apparently no one knows how to fix my issue. SO how do I get ahold of a real person to talk to since no one wants to try to tackle my issue...? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Student Services is the best place to go for answers to questions like this: student.nemetschek.net You can't open files older than 12 with VW 2008 student. This is the case for all past student versions - it only opens back one version. Quote Link to comment
