Have a large drawing with surfaces, sections, etc that I need to export to Autocad 2004. I cannot export to any format or versions, it just does not create/save. Current dwg is in Civil 3d 10.
Hi Dwama-
Do you by any chance get the "erase failed (eLockViolation)" error on the command line when exporting to AutoCAD? If so please have a look at this technical solution: http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS1064067
Hope this helps!
Do you have an x-ref and or data shortcut? If so, promote data shortcut, export x-ref drawing, repoint drawing to exported drawing (just change the path so your layers don't get messed up) then export drawing.
Make sure all layers are thawed, unlocked. Points, surfaces etc need too be unlocked.
Have tried that, still does not work. Did the batch converter - results are:
File conversion has completed.
Error reading file: (File Path)
What method are you using to attempt this? Have you tried an e-transmit, a Saveas? More information is needed and I can recommend some more ways to do this.
I have tried all, I am beginning to think there is a system variable that might be causing the problem. I can wblock a portion of the drawing to AutoCAD 10, open that drawing and still cannot export, wblock, etc to 2004. It just will not save to 2004. Went from 10 to 07 to 04 also with no luck.
