322czo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Is there any setting on my system that I can change because when I send my DWG files via email the recipient cant open them, WHY?. Quote
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It might be they have an older version than you have. I send DWG files frequently and others have no trouble opening them. Quote
SLW210 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It might be they have an older version than you have. I send DWG files frequently and others have no trouble opening them. Do they have AutoCAD or DWG Trueview or some other program to open DWG files? Quote
SLW210 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ExportToAutoCAD What is that supposed to mean? Is that a Civil3D command? Quote
alanjt Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 What is that supposed to mean? Is that a Civil3D command? AFAIK it's a standard AutoCAD command that will save the drawing out to whatever version you choose. Quote
SLW210 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) AFAIK it's a standard AutoCAD command that will save the drawing out to whatever version you choose. Command: exporttoautocad Unknown command "EXPORTTOAUTOCAD". Press F1 for help. Looks like aectoacad works. Command: aectoacad -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD File format: 2010 Bind xrefs: Yes Bind type: Insert Filename prefix: ACAD- Filename suffix: Edited February 9, 2011 by SLW210 Additional info... Quote

Sorry about that - result of using nothing but LDD and C3D for the last 6-7 years. Quote

SLW210 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Opened for me, how are you sending them? Quote
322czo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Trough my pop3 service provider using Outlook Express, but if it opend for you then maybe they are using another version of AutoCAD. Quote
Sittingbull Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 No trouble here. Opening an AutoCAD 2004/LT 2004 format file. Quote
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Heck, I even opened it with a non-AutoDesk program called DraftSight. Maybe the other guys need lessons! LOL Quote
