I have inherited an archive with many files ending .dpp, which I believe have been created with Serif DrawPlus. Is there any way of importing these to LO Draw please?
Can you share at least one sample file?
It tells me it is an unsupported file type when I try to send. This link might work instead:
short: No.
The first step would be to find out the version used by your files.
According to the following link later files are xml-based…

.
The easiest method is usually to obtain the software and to save from there to a format still used. This was also the recommended way at serif.com 11 years ago.

As it is software, the typical answer to “ist there a way” is “we can create one, if necessary”…
I’ve tried looking at the files in Notepad++ and they appear to be binary. It probably is an older version as the person who created them is now in their 90s.
There is a way… just a simple matter of programming!
Thanks for the advice.
the file you posted is a zip archive. Its main content is a bitmap
