Very frustrated with trying to save a dwg as a dxf.

[SLW210]

See THIS

 

I get "Unknown command "AECOBJEXPLODE". Press F1 for help."

[Treehugger]

Have you tried AECOBJEXPLODE before trying to save as DXF?

 

"Unknown command "AECOBJEXPLODE". Press F1 for help."

[Treehugger]

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?

I get "Unknown command "AECOBJEXPLODE". Press F1 for help."

 

Perhaps that is what the architect should have used before sending the drawing

[SLW210]

Can you upload the file to dropbox?

[Treehugger]

Sorry for my ignorance but how do I do that?

[SLW210]

Go to www.dropbox and upload the drawing, then post the link here.

[SLW210]

Post as AutoCAD 2000 version, I will be home for the weekend soon and only have 2000 at home.

[Treehugger]

OK thanks for your help.

Here goes: dropbox file

I have another drawing but I am unable to save it as a 2000 version without the aforementioned error message popping up!

The package I am trying to install the R12 dxf version on is PocketGIS (just in case you are interested!

 

Thanks for your time it is greatly appreciated.

Download doesn't work in Firefox for me.

 

Have you tried (making a copy of) and the just exploding the heck out of everything?

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.

Paste the link into the "open" dialog box in autocad, it will work that way.

When you get to the geocomp page in my previous post this is the link you'll need to get the download:

[Treehugger]

Wow thanks Jack!

Could you look into this one too please?

Thank you.

[Jack_O'neill]

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.

[Treehugger]

I'm on 2010 also. I will try again.

[Treehugger]

Try this time please

[SLW210]

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.

[Cad64]

It opened for me on 2010.

[Jack_O'neill]

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.
