I often am sent dwg files to me and I can open them in my Deltacad software. I can then pull dimensions from them and add lines etc.
I want to know if I can export as a dwg or dxf file so my friend with Autocad 2000 can read it . We have tried to save it as dwg and dxf and email it like that but his Autocad says it was created by an incompatible version.
Are there any ideas on how I can export to Autocad?
Thanks

oldgascar,
First, let me welcome you to the group!
When you save as DXF or DWG you will have a dialog box that pops up to allow you to choose between saving as line entity types or line weights. At the very top you will see a drop down box with 2004,2005,2006 displayed. Simply open the drop down box and choose 2000 to save in the correct file format. Hope this works.

Hi! I had the same problem, but the tip didn't help me. In my drop box I do not have 2000 as an option, I've got 2000/2001/2002 and when I pick that it still won't work. What to do??? I'm running DC7.
Regards
Nick

To be honest... I don't know. It's for a workmate. But the problem occurs when i attempt to "save as".
Deltacad won't let me save as anything other than a .dc
It tells me:
"deltadwg thrown.....", "cannot code such and such a file".
To me it sounds as if i've accidentally thrown some file out. But I can't see that that couldv'e happened.
Thanks
Nick

In that case there is nothing we can do for you on this end. If you feel that your Deltacad installation has been damaged you need to reinstall the software and try again. If you continue to have errors you should call or email Midnight software with the problem.

Nick,
Are you sure you're not using an expired demo version of DeltaCad and/or that your DeltaCad version is up-to-date per the latest patch?
[i]FYI: Although your latest question is 'on-topic', it is recommend that you start a new thread for continued discussion.
The reason being, is that older posts contained within this thread may not be currently valid due to ever changing software updates & upgrades and I don't want any new or future members to get misled or confused.
