I recently upgraded to Viacad Pro v14 and have a number of files from older versions that are .vc3 not .vcp. I thought that everything would be backwards compatible for importing. I don't necessarily need all of the files because they are older but I expected a new program would read old files. Thanks Kevin

ViaCAD Pro 14 reads files dating back to CADD Pro for all products. The same file format is used for all ViaCAD, SharkCAD, and TurboCAD Mac products. I would need to see the file to find out what is wrong. If you open any of these files in a text editor, the first line should be... CADD-PRO14.00 CSI-COM Tim

This file has no data it is 170 bytes and appears to be a reference or pointer to the actual file. Did you copy/backup or try restoring this file from a backup or damaged file? Is this the only copy of the file you have?

No, unfortunately it's the only copy. Thanks for the help.
