Mike Wright Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I've just updated to 2014 form 2013 and have a rather annoying niggle i need to try and get round. A lot of my custom symbols are archived in VW 2013 files, when i try to open the files in Resource Browser i get the message 'The following files were saved using an older version of Vectorworks and therefore could not be added to the list of favourites' Is there a way to stop this or am i going to have to create a new version of every file in my library? Thanks Edited January 28, 2014 by Mike Wright Quote Link to comment
mac@stairworks Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Open the file where your symbols are located using VW2014 and "save as" a file in VW2014 version to your favorites folder for 2014. Add the new file to your favorites in the resource browser. I don't know if this is the most efficient way, but it works. Quote Link to comment

Mitch Brooks Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Use the Batch Convert when doing this. Quote Link to comment
