mlkimmel Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I've been trying to use data exchange. I start it in VW, then go to LW to start data exchange there with a new file. Every time I choose the xml file it tells me the xml file is invalid. Does anybody know why that might happen? I am using VW 2009 on a mac, but it's a Windows version of VW with Parallels 5. LW is on Mac. I downloaded LW for windows and used that through Parallels with the same result. I sent the file to somebody with all Windows, and she was able to make it work with no problem. Thanks.

mlkimmel Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Nevermind. I just saved the XML file to a different folder from where the VW file is and it worked with no problem. Quote Link to comment
John McKernon Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Saving the .xml file to a different folder won't necessarily help. If the .xml file is on any drive other than the one that the VW app is on, VW won't fill it with data. This is a known bug in VW2011. Quote Link to comment
chia6604 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have tried saving the .xml file to multiple different places on my mac and I am still experiencing the same problem that my Vectorworks isn't exporting, which is what Lightwright says when I attempt to connect the two Quote Link to comment
