DWG File Conversion to Earlier version

Posted by Thad Glankler on Aug 23, 2010 11:08 pm

I have two cad files that will not open in trueviewer that I normally use to save drawing to an earlier version.  If anyone could help me out and save these files to 2007 or earlier I would appreciate it.

TIA

Hello Thad,

I used Trueview 2011 with apparent success. I was able to open both 2010 drawings (with some warning messages) and they are now 2007.

Hope this helps.

phd- I tried importing/opening the files you sent and i still get the error message.  I also tried to download trueview 2011 but was having problems installing it.   I'm not sure if maybe you sent back the original files. 

Could you possibly resend or somebody help me with the original files converted from the first post?

Thanks to anyone/everyone.

Thad

Thad, I just downloaded the files that I uploaded earlier and they were indeed v2007 files, and I was able to open them so I don't know what the problem was. There were some error messages but it did open on my v2008 setup. Glad it worked out in the end.
