schwi Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hello I'm new to this website. Maybe someone can help me. I have received a file made in autocad 2015 (i think) I'm using 2007!!! Downloaded trueview 32 bit for windows XP but it's not able to open the EXE. maybe someone is able to save as 2007 this file for me! Best, F.

Squirltech Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome. Open the .exe? You should be opening a .dwg and then do an EXPORT to the desired format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome. Open the .exe? You should be opening a .dwg and then do an EXPORT to the desired format. Maybe it's Trueview that won't open its install EXE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If you cannot get Trueview to work, have you tried to use AutoCAD 360? It is free and you can upload a drawing and then download it in a version to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Wow, I just discovered that AutoCad 2015 LT has the drawing convert program built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samifox Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 hi can someone explain what a viewer has to do with dwg convertor? (just cant see the contaxt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 hi can someone explain what a viewer has to do with dwg convertor? (just cant see the contaxt) AutoDesk TrueView is both, and is the most functional of any dwg file converters, and it is free. AutoDesk combined the two utility programs back in about 2007, or maybe 2009, I think. They are no longer available separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
