michaelk Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We are getting more and more requests to convert old VW files to other formats. It's pretty cool that VW can import .dwg, .skp, revit, and export to .dwg, .stl, etc. And it's clear that there are more projects started in VW that are now reaching the age that they are being renovated by architects and designers using other software. I expect that the rate of request will keep increasing. We should probably write up some guidelines or FAQs for people who need files converted. VW layers and classes work a little differently from AutoCad, for example. Also, since about half of VW users are not using Windows, compressing files with a Windows compression format cuts down potential responses to conversion requests. 2 Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) @michaelk from my perspective such guidelines would be very helpful. I am a sole practitioner and planning retirement in about a year with 20 years of VW files that I would like to archive/convert to .dwg. This will allow clients the maximum ease and flexibility in how they use the files in the future. Edited April 26, 2019 by RGyori clarity Quote Link to comment

MullinRJ Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Simon, I opened your file in VW 2014 and exported from there. I hope all of the pieces made it through. It looked pretty good when viewed in eDrawings, but check it carefully if you can. If you need a PDF to compare it to, just ask. 30710-A- Topographic Survey-Dwyer v2014.zip Raymond Quote Link to comment

michaelk Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Uploader isn't working for me today. Here's the dwg: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dgz86ra6dri6vhp/AABGR04tLxyYvF4xWQRqnPDLa?dl=0 It didn't like exporting to ifc. I don't think there's any ifc data in the drawing. Quote Link to comment

Aneub2a2 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hello all Could Someone convert these two attached files to .dwg Thanks, Alex Vectorworks files.zip Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hope this helps. Not sure what's going on with these files. They appear to be old educational German language version missing the suffix. I got what I could from them. The conversion to dwg made all the layers the same scale. I think 1:50. 030127_Grundriss_gesamt_v2020-dwg.zip aktuell v2020-dwg.zip Quote Link to comment

Callum Stafford Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi I am having massive difficulty opening a file i have been sent over the internet but can access it from anywhere, i need it transferring into a dwg file can anyone help. Would be very appreciated. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Sorry, that file sets of the piracy alarm and won't open. It's been a long time since one of these has come through. If I'm reading the file header correctly (big if 😁) it looks like it was a very old pirated version. You'll have to go back to whoever supplied that drawing and see if they can help. 1 Quote Link to comment
