Meglesniak323 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I keep running into problems when it comes to using files from different AutoCAD editions. My computer at home has AutoCAD 2010 while my school is using AutoCAD 2009. However, I have a few files saved from AutoCAD 2008 and for some odd reason they will not transfer to the 2009 edition (nevertheless 2010, I did not even bother to try). I just need to open it to use a drawing and bring it into my 2009 file. My 2008 is saved as an autocad drawing Anyways I would love some advice. I am very comfortable with AutoCAD except when it comes to transfering files through the different editions. Are they not meant to be compatible? Is there an easy way to do this? Quote
The Buzzard Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I use 2009 now and had problems with fatal error switching between versions. I got the latest service pack form AutoDesk and it corrected the problem. Now I am not sure if this is the issue you are having since you did not mention anything about a fatal error, But your school shool check to see if they are using the latest service pack anyway. I believe the school will need to resolve that problem since its their software. Quote
Meglesniak323 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Ya, I definitely think I need to bring up these issues with my school since many people use autoCAD from different editions, so I am sure they will need them to all be compatible. Its ironic that they havent fixed this problem earlier. I am definitely suprised by that. Thank you Buzzard! Once again.. Quote
Meglesniak323 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Oh and it didnt say anything about a fatal error, it just opens the file like normal but nothing shows up in autocad.... The command line says this: Autodesk DWG. This file is a TrustedDWG last saved by an Autodesk application or Autodesk licensed application. Quote
