Why can't I open the drawings from my student version in a professional version during my internship?

Drawings created with the student version of Vectorworks should not be used for commercial purposes. Therefore, drawings from a student version cannot be opened in a professional version of Vectorworks.

But, as a student you can open a drawing created with a professional version in your student version. Please note: as soon as you open a professional file with your student license, the drawing will be converted to a student version.

Do you want to keep drawing efficiently during your internship period, together with your internship company? Please ask your internship company to contact us in the Netherlands, Belgium (NL/FR), France or Poland to discuss all options.
