janwei Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi! Is anyone here running autosketch or quickcad? I got a few drawings i made on draffix a couple of month ago. I saved them as .cad files and now i have the problem that i can't open them anymore. I am not a profesional cad worker and i am using demo versions only, nevertheless i don't want to draw these files again. Can anyone convert a few(5) .cad files to .dwg for me?

ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 There's a guy selling QuickCAD 7 Millenium Edition on eBay. There are no bids yet. Starting bid price is $1.04. The auction ends in 2 days 8 hours. Shipping is $11 approximately. Bid $10 and see what happens. Maybe he would be willing to take it. You never know. No reserve as far as I can tell.

tzframpton Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you can't afford even $10 then something's SERIOUSLY wrong in your financial planning.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It was only another suggested option. Heck, if things are that bad I'll buy the software for you and have it shipped directly to your house instead of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABuckingham Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 why don't you buy the software for me? If the drawings have so little value that you're unwilling to shell out $10 for them, I'd recommend you just redraw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 We do have a member who admitted to having AutoSketch9. He goes by the moniker architecture68-raff. He is also a forum member over at TheSwamp. Maybe if you ask him real nice he'd be willing to assist you. At this point I am all out of ideas and offers so I will bid you faretheewell fair maiden.

tzframpton Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 why don't you buy the software for me? LOL.... and now you're asking for a handout? You must be voting for Obama (if you're from the USA that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABuckingham Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 LOL.... and now you're asking for a handout? You must be voting for Obama (if you're from the USA that is) You're assuming they're not already rich, in which case they'd be voting for McCain who's been tasked with providing handouts for the wealthy.... but perhaps we should stay on topic.

tzframpton Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'd rather help the rich than the poor. Last time I checked the poor people of the world aren't providing jobs.... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I forgot to ask...what version of AutoCAD would the files have to be saved too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes, I know you need .dwg files it's just that there are different versions depending on what version of AutoCAD is being used. You cannot open a .dwg file created in AutoCAD 2009 (latest version) using AutoCAD 2000 or 2007 or Release 14 for example. So, someone might request that a file be "saved as" AutoCAD 2000 file format. Now .dwg files can be opened with viewers. These CAD drawing file viewers do NOT rely on having a working copy of AutoCAD. Anyone can use a viewer, open an AutoCAD .dwg file and print it. Will you be using a viewer or maybe turning these files over to someone who uses AutoCAD? If the latter than we need to know what version of AutoCAD would be used. Hey, I'm just trying to help here OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 By AutoDesk, a drawing viewer program: DWG TrueView It's free too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm just trying to help here OK? Actualy i don't know which file would be best. It's not a professional drawing. Just for giving someone a broad idea of what i mean. The file won't be edited any further. It's just needed for a viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
