Treehugger Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Have you tried AECOBJEXPLODE before trying to save as DXF? "Unknown command "AECOBJEXPLODE". Press F1 for help." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Can you post the .dwg file? I could email it to you if I had an email address for you. If that's any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I get "Unknown command "AECOBJEXPLODE". Press F1 for help." Perhaps that is what the architect should have used before sending the drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When I tried to open that file, it pops up the shx dialog box because geocomp.shx wasn't on my system. If I hit cancel, it opens the drawing. If I create the dxf at this point, I get the same error message you reported in your original post. You will need to go here: http://www.geocomp.com.au/support/ and download that geocomp.shx shape file. Put it in your Autocad fonts folder, then create your dxf file. Should solve your problem. Worked on my system. Zipped file attached. reehugger1_1.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Download doesn't work in Firefox for me. Have you tried (making a copy of) and the just exploding the heck out of everything? Paste the link into the "open" dialog box in autocad, it will work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When you get to the geocomp page in my previous post this is the link you'll need to get the download: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wow thanks Jack!Could you look into this one too please? Thank you. When I try to open this one, it says "drawing file not valid". Which version of Autocad are you using? I'm on 2010. edit--Trueview won't open this one either. Something wrong with the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The last doesn't open for me on 2000i. Tell the architect sending the files to learn how to etransmit or to send you the files as DXF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It opened for me on 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It opened for me on 2010. hmmm....maybe my machine was mad because I was making it work on saturday. I'll try again when I get back home. In the mean time, if you're getting the same messages, or the same type of messages, you'll have to find the missing shape/font/whatever.
