Jen305 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey, We are regularly receiving DWG's saved in 2007 version, and most of the staff in our office have 2004LT, i have 2009 therefore I am the one who has to open and re-save all the drawings. I tried downloading DWG Gateway but this does not support LT. Does anyone know a Plug-in, which will work with 2004LT? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Try installing TrueView from Autodesk. Can be found here - http://www.autodesk.co.uk/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=452932&id=10751349 It will convert those files for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 So you are just trying to find a way the rest of your staff can open a 2007 AutoCAD drawing and save it in 2004 format for editing with 2004LT? You don't want to be the sole "go to" person for these conversions. Right? Why is that? Do you get that many 2007 drawings in a given week? Where do these files come from? Can't the source of the files save them in 2004 format before sending them off to your firm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much yeah I don’t want to be the go to person, Also we receive allot in 2007 from our main clients who refuse to change their settings to 2000DWG which takes like 2 seconds but oh well. I’m downloading True View, Will give that ago, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In fairness to your clients, I usually refuse to save down. I have had no end of problems where links have been broken and dynamic blocks have stopped working as somebody else saved down over the original.
