SDF Loader and Dwg 2007

Hi everyone.
I have autocad 2007 and sdf loader 6.5. My problem is when I try to convert a 2007 dwg file to sdf. I have autocad 2006 and 2007 prodution at same time and I need a sdf loader that supports 2 versions because migration to 2007. If I save 2007 dwg file to 2006 dwg file version, sdf loader converts but when file is saved on 2007 don't. So, I need a sdf loader that can convert files from 2007 to use in mapguide 6.5

Thanks

Given Autodesk's move to the new MapGuide Enterprise, I doubt that we will
see a version of SDF Loader that is compatible with newer releases of
AutoCAD, starting with 2007. You can still export to SDF 2 format from
within Map 2007, however.

In my case, I upload dwg files and then, through batch process, I convert them to sdf. This not happen when I upload 2007 dwg!
I have a group of users working with AutoCAD map 2007 and other group of users working with 2006. Who works with 2007 needs (every time that they go upload the file to web) save file at older version.

Unless Autodesk updates the SDF Loader to work with 2007 flavor DWG's, you
are stuck using 2006 version or possibly doing some programming on 2007 to
use it as your platform to batch export SDF files. The best tool for this
kind of stuff is Safe Software's FME product. It is made for it and you
won't encounter these version issues as they are very good at keeping up
with new releases of products and support for new formats.
