Julien Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hia all... I got a serius problem. I have VW 10.5.1, mac OS X 10.3 and Toast titanium 5.2.1. If I record a backup CD formatted in ISO 9660... is impossible to reopen the backups document with OS X 10.3. (But I can open it with Mac OSX 10.2.8) The document is transformed in a unreadable format for VectorWorks. But he can open by Cinema 4D (by the end... is an unreadable format...) The problem for me is quet serius becasue I can't re-open olds documents that I have saved on my backups CDs. Any other have this problem... exist a solution... did I do a mistake ? Thanks for help... sorry but I'm quiet nervous about this trouble... greeting julien d [ 02-21-2004, 11:38 AM: Message edited by: Julien ] Quote Link to comment

matto Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 do the file have an extention on them (such as .mcd) you can sometimes fool the computer by adding the right extention then opening the file from the open menu in vectorworks. Quote Link to comment

Julien Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 This don't works in Mac OS X 10.3.2 ALL VW FILES COPIED IN THE HD are dimpossible to read, they are transformed in a unreadable document for VectorWorks, so when I choose 'Application' to open and I try to select VW app, just VW is gray and is not possible to open ALL VW docuemts that are 'burned' in a ISO 9660 CD I tried to add or change the extension (.mcd / .vw) nothing change. If I will open the document from VectorWork (File>Open> 'the file') ... all VW files are gray and impossible to select... Strange that Cinema C4D (Nemetschek product too !!!) can open or from the menu File>Open the file is possible to select... just by the end is impossible to open it. Please help... All back up files on CD are not more redable and I can understand why... Just this look like the 'header' of the document is transformed during the burn option... This dosen't happen with MAC OS X 10.2.8 (and all new computrer that we have buy in the office now run with 10.3.2)... Just in a ISO 9660 formatted CD I ca see the VW Icon over the docuent... in 'Panther' not... Thanks for any more help ! I'm queit desperate... Julien - Switzerland (Sorry for some mistakes...)

Guest Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Julien, Is that problem that VW is greyed when you run the open with command? If so, make sure at the top of that dialog, that you choose "All Applications" instead of recommended apps. Quote Link to comment

Yep I was in a total panic situation for nothing... and is just... 'all application' and what Richard Giannini-Rugg tell on the linked message from raylibby... Just I need to read the new features in the OSX 10.3 ... hem hem I'm absolute sorry. Sincerly many thanks to all and thanks Mark for your simple an basic explanation for a simple problem. Ok I go to hide my self (well typical Italian expression...). Julien - Switzerland Quote Link to comment
