smoothbase Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I need to work again from some previous files back in 1993 How could I translate these files into VW 11. I do not have any MiniCad softwares but the v.6 on diskettes ( 7 or more of them) Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Contact Customer Service and request a VW 9 installation CD. Open the files (as long as they are MC 6 or later) in VW 9, save them, and open the converted 9 files in VW 11. Quote Link to comment
smoothbase Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 So I looked at my 1.4 disquettes and discovered 11 disquettes MiniCad 6.01 and a CD with MiniCad VectorWorks 8 and another CD containing VW 9.01. If I understand your advice I have to install v.6 and v.9.01 ( under OS 9 what a pain) in order to translate my MiniCad v.4/5 files. No shorter and easier way to go through that translation ? Please tell me yes Quote Link to comment
Kees W Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yes, if your files were created in MiniCAD 6 or later, you only need to install VW 9. Anything earlier requires an earlier (non native) version. I believe VectorWorks 8 can still read MiniCAD 5 and maybe even v4 files, so I would try that first. You can update your copy of 9.0.1 to VW 9.5 for OS X compatibility, btw. (http://nemetschek.net/downloads/vectorworks/) [ 08-20-2004, 10:33 AM: Message edited by: Kees W ] Quote Link to comment
