What is a VWX file

VWX files mostly belong to VectorWorks by Vectorworks. A VWX file is a 2D or 3D drawing created with Vectorworks computer-aided design software suite. This file typically contains vector-based geometry, images, and models used to draft a design project. 3D architectural, mechanical, or landscape models can be generated from a VWX drawing. Only Vectorworks editions released after version 12.5 support VWX format.

How do you open VWX files?

You need a suitable software like VectorWorks from Vectorworks to open a VWX file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VWX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VWX file directly in the browser:.

VWX file format:

To view or edit VWX files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the VWX files:
