mck26c Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 For a new project we are thinking of getting a few Revit 2010 licenses. The newest version of any CAD/BIM program is AutoCAD 2008 and I have the trial of Revit 2010 which has ran out. I was asked by my boss if there would be a way we could open Revit 2010 files in AutoCAD 2008 just as 2D floor plans. I replied with probably not, but I would look into it. Can anyone back me up on this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Install the Revit 30 day trial on another machine and then export the files to .dwg format. Then use DWG TrueView to convert the files to 2007 format so you can open them in Autocad 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mck26c Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks Cad64. I was kind of thinking I would have you do something like that. Basically your saying we need to purchase a couple of licenses for our office spacifically for someone(me) to convert those files. See, we deal with vendors and the licenses we do get would go on onsite desktops for venders to be able to look at and correct BIM files. So we would need at least one more for our office to be able to convert those files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea1307 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 If its for just this job just this once, download another 30-day trial on another machine, but yes, if this is something that you will need to do regularly then you will have to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
