rkent Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I have some older files supplied by an A/E firm back in 2000 that won't open up in 2012 or 2013, I am hoping someone with an older release will be able to open them. If you can open the file, save and repost. I would be grateful. Thanks in advance. xgm-4-0-.dwg xgm-1-0-.dwg Quote
ReMark Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Tried opening xgm-1-0-.dwg with a CAD viewer (CADwizz) but got this as a result. Same goes for the other drawing as well. Sorry. Quote
rkent Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Thanks for trying, I appreciate it. I put in a subscription support case I will see if that does any good. Quote
ReMark Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I also tried opening one of the drawings using DraftSight. It said a recovery was necessary so I said "sure, go ahead" but nothing ever came of it. I'm sure we have a couple of forum members running 2000 if I am not mistaken. Had you already tried DWG TrueView? Quote
rkent Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 I had tried with TrueView 2013, just tried 2011, both say invalid file. I think I have r14 and 2000i so I am installing it to see if it will work on Win7 64, and if it can open the files. Quote
ReMark Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I have access to 2000 but I don't have it installed. Quote
SLW210 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 You will not be opening those files no matter the version. I opened in Notepad and there is no header. Quote
