intern2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hello, me client uses DraftSight and I thought this is dwg compatible, but he can not open my AutoCAD 2010 dwg. I tried AutoCAD 2000 dwg, but he can not open this one, too. Hopefully you could help me. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It should be completely compatible. I've used Draftsight myself. Can you post the drawing you are trying to send him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah, I'd like to see this too. Are you using vanilla AutoCAD or a vertical application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Does he get an error message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi, thanks for the quick answers. What is vanilla AutoCAD? I use the test version of AutoCAD 2012 and it isn't expired until now. I don't know if he gets an error message. I attached are very simple drawing. Maybe one of you could try to open it an leave a message. Thanks! intern2011.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Did you try sending as a .dxf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Vanillia Acad is just plain Acad, not mech or ach extensions. Let me try your file.

intern2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Did you try sending as a .dxf? No i didn't. What is an dxf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I didn't have a problem with it either. Maybe your friend needs to download the latest version. It is free, and only takes a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 No problems here either. .dxf is another file extension the AutoCAD will save as. Sounds like to me the person trying to open the file is using something other than a cad program to open this file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
