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

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-PRO14.00CSI-COM Tim

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?
