Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to export an Autocad Civil 3D 2014 file to a regular ACAD 2010 file.
In my office, only I use Autocad Civil 3D 2014, everyone else uses regular ACAD versions, so I always have to export my files so others can view them and work on them.
However, I'm having a problem with a particular file (not that big, 17 MB), which just won't export! The usual messages show up on the command bar ("Exploding Aec Object" and so on...) but no file is produced, I only get 2 useless DWL files.
I already purged, audited, regenerated, recovered and nothing happens... I keep getting the same Warning message each time I try to do this (check attached).
Thanks for the help!

Why not have the other users in your office install the C3d 2014 object enabler? That way you wouldn't have to export every time, unless the other users are making significant changes to the design linework in your drawing.
I would also recommend against ignoring the error message. We've found that drawings with these type of errors end up causing all sorts of weird and unexpected problems, often when they're referenced into some other drawing.

If the others are all on 2014 AutoCad then the Object Enablers are the route to go.
If not on 2014 they would need to upgrade to 2014 in order for the 2014 Object Enablers to work.
I've seen this happen to others and have experienced it myself. If I remember correctly, the remedy would be to insert the problem drawing into a blank drawing created from your template. Hopefully my memory is correct.

Probably, the best solution would be for everyone in my office to get ACAD 2014 products, but I needed this done today. So yeah, I just copied the file, exploited the whole thing step by step (always the label before the entity, so I wouldn't lose the label) and then copied this into a new file.
I guess that the problem was that I had many interdependant surfaces and that caused some kind of issue on the program.
Anyway, problem solved, thank you all for the help.
