Object Enabler for 2005 from 2007?

[ccorriea]

Does anyone know where I can find an Object enabler for opening ADT 2007 DWGs with ADT 2005? There is no option in the drop downs for ADT2007 on teh Object enabler download page here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=2753223&linkID=2475712

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks David.

My employer has multiple versions of ADT in use and if we open ADT 2007 dwgs in 2005 we get a lot of ARX errors. I am not sure if I can just unload the arx apps that are not being supported in 2005 to eliminate the problem of the ARX errors.

I'm trying to get my company to just move everyone to 2007, but until then I am trying to find a solution.

Thanks again for the reply.

The only solution will be to move everyone to 2007, if that helps
convince the higher-ups...

I also posted this problem. I don't have the ability to run ADT 07 at home, so that takes out some of my overtime. I also have to send & receive dwgs with subs that just can't afford to upgrade when we do. As I posted before, "...I never would have upgraded until I had to open an '07 dwg received." ...and once a dwg on the server is upgraded to '07, it's incompatible with '06, '05, & '04. Readers note this, and try a sample dwg as soon as you upgrade. You may want to wait to upgrade after all. I'm waiting (on my subs behalf) for the enablers.

I can not say what Autodesk may choose to do in the future, but if the past is any guide, you will wait until your subs upgrade to 2007, if you need to exchange ADT objects. All of the ADT object enabler's released to date - and, since the 2005 releases, built into vanilla AutoCAD - have only worked to allow viewing ADT objects created in the same file format as the version of vanilla AutoCAD being used.
