The Nickster Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hey guys i've been running into some problems lately with some floor plans. When i open these floor plans in ACAD 2010 LT (on my co-worker's computer) everything is fine, but when I open the same drawings in MEP 2009 (on my computer) all of the places where the windows would normally be on the building, there are boxes that say "AEC WINDOW ASSEMBLY". Also when i try to print the drawings from MEP the same box shows up, not only is it annoying but i cannot figure out why it is doing this... anyone have any ideas? Quote
Cad64 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Have you loaded the necessary object enablers? Quote
The Nickster Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Have you loaded the necessary object enablers? yeah I tried loading the 32 bit object enabler and it said that I already have a newer version of it installed.... Quote
The Nickster Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 here is a .pdf of what the drawing looks like when i open it in MEP 2009 AEC WINDOW.pdf Quote
RobDraw Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 2010 to 2009 requires conversion. Some objects created in 2010 are not compatable with 2009. Quote
The Nickster Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 I'm guessing this might have something to do with it as well, I got this message as I was opening the drawing: "This application has detected a mixed version of AEC objects participating in this operation. Newer AEC objects will be disallowed from participating in this operation." Is there a way around this? Quote
RobDraw Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Only by saving down from 2010LT to the previous dwg format or converting with Drawing True View. Quote
The Nickster Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Here's the thing: there are 8 drawings in this package, all of them are of the same building just different floors, they all have virtually the same outline, exterior walls and windows. Not all of the drawings are showing this AEC WINDOW ASSEMBLY message, it is only 4 of them. The other 4 are just fine with MEP. Quote
The Nickster Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Only by saving down from 2010LT to the previous dwg format or converting with Drawing True View. I did that but it didn't have an option for saving "back to MEP 2009" just AutoCAD 2009 format so I tried that, it had no effect either way. Quote
