Delmer Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Yup. Most software will support previous versions at least a few years back. Its only opening files from newer versions with older apps that is sometimes problematic. Quote Link to comment
Aloo Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 thank you for the Quick response .. i will update you withh the problem once i have had a chance to look into it ! Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 if you are mac based, append .mcd at the end of the file name in the Finder, and then switch to Vectorworks, and go to file>Open, and if they are VW files they will open. Double clicking, or dragging the document to the Application icon won't work. HTH ion Quote Link to comment

Kiwi Ross Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Suggestion. I have found that the odd older file when opened in a newer version can have the odd thing missing. Although this is very rare, I have found it handy to keep the previous version of VW in my computer just in case. [ 04-18-2005, 05:15 PM: Message edited by: Kiwi Ross ] Quote Link to comment
