Drawing Invalid, need someone to back save to older version

Hey All

This is my first time on this site. hope it works out good.

I have a couple files emailed to me and I need to print them. My DWG TrueView program doesnt open them, and thats what I usually use in order to convert them.

If someone could give me a hand that would be great.

Thanks

I cannot attach the files to this as they are apparently too large so I would need someones email to send it to them and then sent back to me

The files that were sent to you were created with which version of AutoCAD?

Don't you have the latest version of DWG TrueView?

I have DWG TrueView 2011 so I have no idea why it isnt working. and I have no idea what version they were created on

Can't you call and inquire? We they even created using AutoCAD?

they are .dwg files. I went to their website to get the 3rd one and downloaded it from there and it worked in TrueViewer

And who's website might that be? Let's try hard not to make this be like a trip to the dentist OK?

So you downloaded three dwg files and only one can be saved back to a version you can use. Fine. Did TrueView display any kind of error message when the first two failed to convert?

my boss sent me 3 emails. 2 of the emails had a cad file in them, the 3rd email had a website to the customer of the job and there was one file on that website. I can open the file off the website but not the 2 in the emails. I sent them to a friend who has AUTOARCH 2011 and he cant open them either

have you tried inserting the drawing as a block into a blank file? Then exploding the block? Also you should contact your boss because it sounds like the files were not created in AutoCAD

You still haven't told us what the error message says when you try to open the files?

This is becoming a trip to the dentist.

Ask your boss to ask the customer to load the two files on the website so you can download them.
