                can file be shared between Viacad 3d, and 3d Pro, or do you need to export. Thanks Dave

                I failed in attempting this. I at first suspected it was intentionally designed in the file structure. But, then i noticed my file was HUGE, like 144MB when only days earlier with little work done, was only ~18-44 MB. But, when testing plain, simpler files did/did not work, i thought i don't know WHAT to think anymore. I tried importing the "damaged" file, too, but that, too, failed. I even tried exporting a smaller version of the file to VC version 5, and then tried to import THAT to VC6 Pro, and still, I failed. But, I'm using VCPro demo/trial, which will expire soon, and as i cannot yet afford it or Shark-anyversion, i am not going to grouse more about it... unless i win the lotto and suddenly can afford Shark commercial/full pro version, but find i still cannot import my files nor repair them.

                Hello Dave Files should be able to be read between ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D/3D and ViaCAD Pro on the same version.  Currently ViaCAD 2D/3D is at v6 whereas all the other ViaCAD products are still at v5 so ViaCAD 2D/3D v6 files need to be exported as a previous version before they can be read in ViaCAD 2D and ViaCAD Pro. [With regard to the problems being experienced by ZeroLengthCurve these could be related to version or not, perhaps some of the larger files could be uploaded to our ftp server and I'll take a look, please email me and I'll forward ftp account details.] All the best Nick
