AutoCAD 2009

[#1]

To: Anyone who can assist.

Unable to fully view a .DWG file from Autodesk Architecture  into AutoCad ver 2009 Educational running on Windows XP..

Keep getting the following error messages when attempting to load DWG from Autodesk Architecture file:

"Missing Application: AecArchBase60
Product Disc: Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007
Total Number of Proxies: 857
Number of entities with bounding box graphics: 356"

After error messages the .DWG  file is displayed in AutoCad, but is missing several objects such as windows,
doors, etc.

Researched issue on Autocad site.  Downloaded and installed several "enabler" drivers (including
Autodesk Architecture enablers) into AutoCad along with related help files.

Still no change? Rebooted PC.

Not entirely sure if "enablers" properly installed.   Accompanied help files do not open in any application.
I attempted to attach a word doc file to this post that had print screens of error message...but post will not accept any Word doc file???

Any ideas welcome

You can open it when the author of the drawing do EXPORTTOAUTOCAD to older versions.

You install object enabler, but the drawing contains objects that are too new and can not be converted back.

Patchy

We are receiving the drawings in autocad 2007 and we opperate with autocad 2009 would this still be the problem?

No problem at all if you have installed Obj. Enabler for Architectural, make sure it was made for your 2009.
