    Export to dwg

    Hello,

     

    I´m trying export to dwg, and I can see all the process, but the export file is not saved.

    I´m using the Autocad Civil 3D 2013 and this just happens in one specific file.

     

    What can be the problem?

     

    Best regards

    If this happens on one file only, sounds like it's a corrupt file.  Run AUDIT and fix errors and try again.

     

    What sort of Civil objects do you have in the file?  I find gradings can be a pain to export sometimes (other times they're fine).  You could also try detaching all x-refs, making sure no layers are locked and no cogo points are locked.

    thanks for the reply

    This problem occurs in two files of the same project. I already ran the command audit, fixing errors and could not export to dwg.

    these files don't exist gradings or locked layers.

    best regards

    when I export to dwg, the program executes the command but does not record the file dwg.

    Do you have x-refs?

    Make sure to run the command from model space, not in a layout.

     

    What version are you exporting from?

    And what version are you exporting to?

    I don't have x-refs in the file.


    I'm exporting forom the model space.

    I'm working in Civil 3D 2013, and I've tried to export from version 2013 to 2007.

    I've always had better luck using the e-transmit to save back to ealier versions.

    Try to export to something closer.  I would export to AutoCAD 2013.  Then open that drawing, clean it up a bit, and export again to 2007.

    my problem, independent of the version  I export, I can't save the autocad file.

     

    The comand runs but in the end don't save any file.
