    AutoCAD 2009 version not readible ?

    Hi guys,

     

    I am new here but i have an urgent question which needs to be solved.

    I use Meridian , a piece of software which attaches an Autocad 2009 dwg to a Tiff file which will be edited in Raster Design.

    This added DWG can not be opened in acad 2009.

    So when i open the file in notepad it says at start says II* , which needed to be AC1021 ?

    Can anybody tell me if II* is another acad version , or is the file corrupted ?

    Before we had this problem also with Acad 2002 , and we converted it with dwg trueview and it al worked fine, so if trueview could read it , it should be an autocad compatible file.

     

    Please help!

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Regards,

    Alvin

    Appears to be a dead/corrupt file: post it here for confirmation.

    Hi pendean , thank you for your reply!

    I have attached one of the dwg files which i cant open.

     

    If you read this article you can find all autocad version codes which appear in the beginning of the dwg file when opened in notepad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dwg

     

    I would love to hear you findings

    You have a dead file according to AutoCAD 2011-2012: there is nothing to recover with those programs. Sorry.

    My other two dwg-capable apps gave it a hard try but ultimately decided it was not valid either.
