I have had no luck in opening the PDFs and the Visio .vsdm files (examples) above. Can you please check the right format of the files are associated with the links? Thanks.

Hi Scott, I am between jobs right now and don’t have access to Visio until Sep 1, so I cannot check Visio content. Most of the example PDF files seem to download just fine on my computer

I get the Acrobat ‘could not open:’ and “because it is either not a supported file type or because the file is damaged…” on all PDF samples… all 10 files – both PDFs and the .vsdm files…

Weird, I can download the files from dropbox and open them with either browser (chrome with win10) or adobe reader XI. Obviously for vdsm files you need Visio or Visio Viewer.

And Visio vdsm files seem to be downloadable from dropbox site, at least the few I tried.

It looks like the download links are dead. I’m getting https errors on all the dropbox links.

Hi Scott,
Maybe it was temporary issue, the download links seem to work for me

Hi Jo,
The download links seem to be working again. From time to time I get comments like this, but the links always work when I test them, even in “incognito” mode when I am not logged in as site admin for wordpress or dropbox. No sure what is going on. Maybe try different browser?
Please note that my unofficial Nutanix stencils are for G7 hardware generation. I have no immediate plans for updating my collection to include G8 shapes. That is unless Nutanix is willing to fund them.
BR,
Sami
