Accessing resources in a previous version of Vectorworks
Resource files saved in a previous version of Vectorworks do not automatically appear in your list of resources, but you can browse to access the contents of the file without opening it, and can then optionally save the file to the current version of Vectorworks.
To access resources in a previous version of Vectorworks:
In the Resource Manager, under Action, select Browse a Document.
A file browser opens.
Browse to the desired file, and click Open.
The browsed file displays at the bottom of the list in the file browser pane.
Click the file to access the resources in the file without opening it. These resources can be copied into current files.
If you need to save the browsed file into the current Vectorworks version, right-click on the file in the file browser pane and click Save.
The Save Vectorworks Drawing dialog box opens.
Name and save the file, which is listed as a browsed file at the bottom of the file browser pane. You can then continue to access the resources from the browsed file or right-click on the file to access its context menu for additional operations.
