EXPORTTOAUTOCAD

I'm trying to use this to knock a drawing back so the engineer can see the Multileaders.

He's on LT 2000 and communication of the drawing file can be problematic.

 

If I've read the (of little)Help file correctly I should be able to enter 2000 in the Format selection and have a 2000 file.

This is returning Invalid option keyword when I try.

What is the proper Format?

Hi, not to sure about typing in entry but if you have dynamic input on it gives you a dropdown where you can just click on 2000

Message 3 of 23

Not seeing that and I use Dynamic input.

When you click on format another dropdown should come up

Message 5 of 23

Nope that is not there but at least I know I'm not missing something. Well I am but not mentally (okay well that too) just in the program.

The other options from the main menu dropdown will open and offer another option or two but not Format.

I must have a glitch in my install somewhere.

Not sure if it matters or not but I'm on my desktop, not my laptop so I'm using full autocad right now. Maybe someone else can check to see if thats why I get the option and you don't.

What does that mean exactly?

 

Watch the command line as you type (LT or full AutoCAD, desktop or laptop):

-EXPORTTOAUTOCAD (there is a dash in the command name)

FORMAT

2000 (or if you prefer, R14, just don't type R2000)

PREFIX (I like to identify the new file, like R2000)

<ENTER> and whatch where the new file goes.

2000, R14, whatever, nothing is recognized nor are there dropdown options when clicking on Format from the first menu in this Command

Adam - Do you have SP1.1 installed?

Message 11 of 23

I wonder if it's just a 2013 bug in LT. I've got 2012 LT and it worked fine. It also worked in 2013 full.

Happens on the blank drawing as well when I open CAD.

Your file seems to contain many undefined 'shape' objects (and I did not have all of your fonts), but the command went through. Too big to attach: http://wikisend.com/download/365178/R200012-078A-2-11-13.zip

Where did you "view" the shape objects? Not sure what to look for

Nothing but Dynamic Blocks and lines.

The Hatches are mostly from Hatchkit

That's what the command reported as it was converting the file.

AUDIT reported no errors

I had previously run the closing Macro we did over on the AUGI Forum that Purges and RegApps and all so it should have been clean.

LT starts here to a blank drawing file. Layer 0, all Styles are Standard; just OOTB stuff.

The Command does not work on that either.

In reply to your earlier post, yes I'm running SP1.1.

The problem persists in all my drawings, blank or not.
