I had a hard drive file but was able to recovered the file using a recovery program - most of the files were extracted well but I was left with folders full of ZIP files - I do not use ZIP much so I suspected they were my VW files. I tried a couple of ZIP extraction programs but one said that the file was not in fact a ZIP file. The problem is that the VW files have been saved as ZIP files - presumably because the program did not recognise a VW file. I have tried changing the suffix from .zip to .vwx but Vectorworks still cannot open the file. i was able to "unzip" a file so that I could the images within the file confirming that these ZIP files are in fact VW files.

Hi all
I had a hard drive file but was able to recovered the file using a recovery program - most of the files were extracted well but I was left with folders full of ZIP files - I do not use ZIP much so I suspected they were my VW files. I tried a couple of ZIP extraction programs but one said that the file was not in fact a ZIP file. The problem is that the VW files have been saved as ZIP files - presumably because the program did not recognise a VW file. I have tried changing the suffix from .zip to .vwx but Vectorworks still cannot open the file. i was able to "unzip" a file so that I could the images within the file confirming that these ZIP files are in fact VW files.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions?
