File with .MCD filename extension contains a 2D/3D drawing project in vector format native to VectorWorks program. MCD is a binary file saved in proprietary CAD (Computer Aided Design) format. MCD stands for Mini CAD Design/Drawing.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the MCD file after converting to MCS may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from MCD to MCS to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting MCD to MCS does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in MCD format, properly converted to a MCS file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file MCD the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of MCD file to other than MCS. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your MCD file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MCS on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the MCD file in its original format (without conversion to MCS file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
