Errors Trying to Read DWF

[mkaake]

I've got a drawing that I need to send to a friend, but as this is my first time working with DWF's, I've run into a world of problems. The first is this:

Unspecified error
[.\AdPage.cpp : CAdPage::Execute : 903]

I have no idea why I am getting this error. I've tried to plot with 3 different ePlot drivers, and each one nets this result (I'm using AutoCad 2000). I tried making a copy of my drawing, and putting everything into 1 layer (which I really don't want to do at all), and that file got closer to opening, but left me with a font error. Even though it said it would substitute (Courier, btw, which I know is installed on the computer), it refused to open the drawing.

Any ideas on what to do?

Please post the drawing or email it to me (jeffrey dot klug at autodesk dot com), and I'll see if I can determine the problem. Thanks.

I found the problem - I had layers with thickness and elevation, for a 3d view. I thought DWF could handle this, but I guess not. Once I flattened everything out (thickness - 0, elev - 0), it worked out okay. Very frustrating though. I thought DWF could handle 3d objects.

The DWF format can handle 3D when published as 3D. At this point, only Inventor 9 and a technology preview from ADT supports the DWF 3D spec. AutoCAD proper is considering it, but at present can only produce 2D DWFs.
