happyunited Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 a CAD technician i work with keeps getting this pop up window when opening up a certain drawing. it has lots of blocks in it which appear to be missing or part complete. he is using 2006LT but when viewed in 2007LT or Full(my machine) they display perfect. if i scroll through that text it mentions stuff created in arch desktop 2007 is this the reason he cant see these? also is there anyway round this? thanks in advance Quote
Strix Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 the way round it is for you to open the drawing, then use 'saveas' to save it down to 2006 for him Quote

There should be like 5 or 6 different ones to download. if he just doesn't want the annoying pop-up telling him he can't see the Proxy Graphics, then set the PROXYSHOW variable to 0. Hope this helps.

happyunited Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 that doesnt seem to work so i havent got a clue what is happening!!! Quote
SLW210 Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Does the pop-up window automatically select "Do not show proxy graphics"? When the pop-up window shows up, he needs to select "Show proxy graphics". If you are unable to make the selection, go to '_Options' 'Open and Save' and in the lower right corner select 'Show proxy graphics' in the dropdown. You can uncheck the 'Show proxy information Dialog Box' if you do not want the pop-up window. Did you already try Strix's and StykFacE's suggestion? Quote
happyunited Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 when i select what i want to show i get the following which is no use to me as its saying the drawing needs to be saved in 2004 from the originator Drawings can be saved in 2004 format using the Export to AutoCAD command before being transferred to the recipient. Please note that Autodesk Architectural Desktop objects will be converted into basic AutoCAD entities such as lines, arcs and 3D faces. OR Drawings can be saved in 2004 format before being transferred to the recipient. Please note that Autodesk Architectural Desktop objects will be saved as proxy graphics and there are no Object Enablers available to enable Autodesk Architectural Desktop objects in this scenario.

Try _PROXYGRAPHICS on the command line and set to 1. I don't have LT so I will be unable to help you further. Quote
