I have some old .vlm files I'd like to import, so old I'm not sure what version they are from, I think 2.7. Like the subject says, any way to import them?

I use an old copy of Graphite to open those, then use batch convert to DXF or IGES. You can then drag and drop the IGES or DXF onto Shark or ViaCAD.

Vellum 2.7 still runs well on WinXP, if you want to post a few files I can convert them to your choice that Vellum 2.7 offers.

you may export to DXF/DWG if your ol' Vellum is still running...

...if not avail any more and only several ones, zip and email them and I'll return them as DWGs.

Ashlar's free Graphite Share app works well for me, and will export to dxf/dwg (and others).
