AUTODESK MECHANICAL 2011

[cappy]

Hello,

 

Engineering just started using Autodesk Mechanical 2011 and i can't open their drawings. The drawing opens but there is nothing there.

 

I have checked and unchecked the paper space box and still no dice. Has anyone seen this problem? Maybe save out dwg to an earlier version?

 

Using X2 MR2, please help.

 

thanks,

Greg.

You will probably need to open the file in McamX5, or you could have them save it as a DWG then go into the options and have them back save to a previous version

I don't have X5 installed and have no intentions on doing so. Too many bugs and post problems to deal with right now. X2 works great for what we do. Mainly all basic turning on Okumas.

 

I am going to have to start coming up with excuses to my boss why it takes longer to program parts than it used to.

 

Very frustrated with this. This was very simple and quick.

Just checked my file folder where I have been storing dwg for programming. X2 will not open any of them now, even after I have file them from ACAD over a year ago.

 

Something must have changed? These are dwg's from ACAD 2001i, been doing this for about 3 years now and it won't work. Can someone please shed some light on this.

 

Thanks,

Greg.

Post it on the ftp or send it over and I will try.

I've had the same problem. Well it's still a problem. What I did to resolve this was simple for me. I just open the dwg file in my current version on AutoCAD. Then I re-save the file. Hope this helps for now.

Your right about the problem with AutoCAD2011
