EvanZabadah Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I use inventor 2013 and my plasma guy has 2005 autoCADLT and his plasma uses omniCAD and he cannot open any of my drawings on his computer I need to know if there is any way to send the drawings so that he can open them up on either one of those programs. Or does anybody know if i can get a copy of omnicad so that i could do all the nesting myself and sent it straight to his plasma. Thanks for the help Quote
JD Mather Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 ... my plasma guy has 2005 autoCADLT and his plasma uses omniCAD and he cannot open any of my drawings on his computer ... What are you saving as dwg? drawings? What format of dwg? As for the omniCAD question - did you contact the software company and ask to purchase the software? Quote
EvanZabadah Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 i found out that the software that my guy has that cuts all my material on the plasma is an older version of omnicad and will only accept 2008 or earlier versions of autocad. today is the las day of my trial version my full copy should be here today. i am hoping that the full version has the option to save as an older version of autocad because the trial version does not. Does antone know if inventor 2013 has the option to save as an earlier version of autocad so it will be compatable with his omnicad software. Thanks Quote

Trial version has the exact same functionality as full version. Trial version IS full version - only the terms of use license is different, not the functionality. Inventor will save as earlier version of AutoCAD dwg. You do not really need DWG TrueView, but it is free, as is Inventor Fusion which will also save to earlier version dwg. Quote
