    Hi,

     

    >> when i try to convert my drawing to pdf

    How did you try to "convert" it? What tools or what AutoCAD commands did you try?

    I would create a layout and plot to the "DWG to PDF.pc3", then I set the papersize, create viewports, zoom and pan and set scale to get the correct view into the viewport(s) and ==> PLOT :smileywink:

    You can open the drawing with AutoCAD 2010, then do _SAVEAS and within the file-dialog you can set the format to DWG2007. Then you can open this file with AutoCAD 2007
