    civil 3d contours in arch 2009

    I have 2009 Architecture 64 bit installed and want to view pre 2009 contour objects.  I went to the enablers site and noticed the only enabler for civil 2009 is a 32 bit and am unable to install the enabler.  Am I installing the wrong enabler?  Seems there should be a way for these to be imported. The contours were created in 2002 LDD. Do I need to have the contours converted to plines?

    There are no extra OEs from any other location: in 2009, -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD does a decent job of converting most AEC objects to their basic entities. But be aware it will do the same to all of your ACA2009 objects in the file too: so separate the Civil content first.

     

    AFAIK there is no ACA2009 64bit version: you just can't install 32bit OEs in Windows 64bit.

    Please mark any response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question.

    Thank you for the work around. I'll give it a shot. BTW ACA2009 has a 64 bit disk. I made the assumption Civil3d would also..why not??

    Civil3D didn't have a 64bit release until 2011.
