JHEarcht Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 VW2008 now has an Import Shapefile menu item. So far I have tried to import three .shp files (just as a test). One opened with linework but no database, even though the data files were in the folder. One didn't successfully import anything. The third, in repeated attempts, immediately crashes (lockup) VectorWorks. This .shp file was copied from an AutoCAD machine. Has anyone else found the Shapefile import to be buggy?

Guest Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Please send the files, a description of the problem, and your VectorWorks / OS information to tech@nemetschek.net Quote Link to comment
domer1322 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have similar problems, except EVERY attempt crashes VW 2008. "Vectorworks has encountered a problem and needs to close" Quote Link to comment
domer1322 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 more info for tech support... I am a municipal employee and take the shapefile directly off the main GIS server. I park it in a folder on my computer, along with related files with extensions .dbf, .prj, .sbn, .sbx, .shx . I thought I could import shapefiles using VW 12.5 but for VW 2008 apparently, not anymore..... If you wish, I can give you access to ftp site to try GIS files for troubleshooting.
