VCH format

I have a large number of charts in the old vch format. How can I update them to the new format.

There is no direct facilty to convert VCH to VC2 files.

 

However, on a computer with both an old version of VCF (v1.x) and a the more recent version of VCF installed, you can (to some degree) convert the files.

 

Open a the VCH chart in a the old version, then Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy (to clipboard).

 

Open the more recent version of VCF on a blank canvas.

 

Click in the top left, then Edit > Paste. (the chart appears)

 

Then File > Save As ... (preferably to a new name in a new location).

 

After this process, you may need to adjust the canvas size.

Thank you Robin. You would think an old timer would know these things wouldn't you. java script:emoticon('', 'smid_3') I think the last time I talked to you in Dallas you were heading for the Isle of Harris to do a project involving Bill Lawson. Did it ever go on line?

 

Cheers
