Tried to open a template file form AutoCad 13 onto my Autocad LT but asking for DWG trueview 2014. i have downloaded the DWG Trueview but still asking for the same thing.
can anyone help?
I opened AutoCAD LT and used open file. The template can be seen on DWG Truefile but on AutoCAD LT this is the message is giving me:-
'The drawing file could not be opened because it was created with a more recent version of LT. To convert this drawing file to an earlier file format download DWG Trueview from AutoDesk website.'
I have already downloaded the DWG Trueview from Autodesk but still gives me the same message.
I even try to save the file on earlier version but i can even open it so i could save it as some previous file.
Cheers

The file is not corrupted, i have 20 other files of the same giving me the same message.
Just to let you know the files are from a training course conducted by AutoDesk i just did on Friday but we used AutoCAD 2014!!!!
I have other files form Auto CAD 2010 and have no problem opening them.

Ok, I have just found out you can't open any files unless you have AutoCAD 13 or AutoCAD LT 13.
I suppose this is another way for Autodesk to make money!!!
What version of AutoCAD LT do you have? It sounded from your thread title & posts that you had 2013.
If you don't, DWG TrueView includes DWG TrueConvert, which will enable you to save the 2013/2014 files back to a DWG format your AutoCAD LT can read.
Yeh sorry I have 2012 AutoCAD LT version. I'll try the Trueview convert and see if it works.
Thanks
