Utiliser des fichiers Architecte 3D 2001

Hello,

I created plans using Architect 3D version 2001. These old files are stored in wds format. I now need to submit a building permit for an extension of the same structure and require a sectional view that this old version cannot produce. I downloaded the platinum CAD 2008 version. What are my chances of being able to use the files created with version 2001 and not have to recreate everything? Is it possible to convert them to pro, phd, psh format? I noticed that with this new version, I could import a dxf/dwg file. If necessary, can I convert my files to this format? If so, how?
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.13

I used the 2000 and 2001 versions; the later versions do not include the files created by these versions. Sorry.

In fact, you just need to right-click on the old file (the .WDS) and choose "open with..." then select "3D Architect Pro" (which might be called ArCon.exe on your PC).
When opened, the plan is imported exactly as it is. You may at most encounter a few warning messages like "Some windows could not be loaded correctly and have been replaced with similar windows."

Best regards

Well, the demo version is crap... and I have to switch to a full version. I don’t know which one yet. It all depends on compatibility. Hence my question: can we use the wds files created with version 2001 with a newer version (52006, 2007, or 2008)? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I am facing the same problem and I wanted to know if you found an answer to your question through another means. I just sent a support request to "punch" software but I have little hope for a response :-)

Thank you
