Import workspace settings?

[DSmith2300]

Hi All,

 

I am on a borrowed PC and need to import my workspace settings, which I managed to export from my original PC.

 

It seems to merely be a text file.   How do I re-import it into VW? 

 

 

(If I still had access to that PC, I'd go and grab the VWW file from C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2021\Workspaces... but It's across town now.)

OK, I've found out from other sources that the text file is "merely a record" and not importable to change current workspace.

I should've grabbed the the whole .vww file before losing the PC. Oh well.

Import Workspace Settings location for Mac

OK, I'll get this going again. My 2013 27" iMac hard drive died Sunday. I have the time machine external hard drive. Need to get my customized workspace into a 2017 27" iMac while I await a new Mac Studio in 10+ days. This is for VW2021. (I'll be using VW2023 when I get the new Mac Studio.) 

So..... where do I find my customized VW workspace on the hard drive backup?

It should be in your user library. Not sure where this is on a Mac but in vw if you go to the preference settings, user folders tab you can see the address in the dialogue. Navigate to this library folder and find the workspace sub folder.

@Boh thanks. But, I've done this in the past but I couldn't find it this time. Perhaps, because it's on the time machine backup drive. In the meantime, I got the Mac Studio from B&H Photo in less than 24 hours. The migration is going on now.
