Can not convert an IDW file to an AutoCAD DWG

[MicahelASC]

I have some Inventor drawing files that a client wants in an AutoCAD 2007 format.  Ever time I try to convert the .idw to an autocad .dwg I get this message, "Problems encountered while saving the document."  So far this is what I've tried:

1. Save copy as -> Save as type: AutoCAD DWG files (*.dwg) -> error message

2. Export to DWG -> Save as type: AutoCAD DWG files (*.dwg) -> error message

I am able to save as an Inventor DWG but I need it as an AutoCAD DWG... I think.  I read somewhere that Autocad 2007 won't read the DWG unless its in an AutoCAD DWG format.

I am running Inventor 2014 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

Thanks Mike

You seem to have a couple of other posts with export issues as well. Version of Inventor, with Service Pack and Hot Fix levels would help along with your O/S version.

The "FIX" does not seem work on my 2015 install either.

Blair, MY BAD.

Your fix worked.

I created an error typing in the code.

Thank you for the help.

I shall now attempt to re-grow the hair I pulled out today...............

Try logging in to your machine with a different User Account. You might have a bad profile or create a new folder on your C:\ drive and use that folder to save "Export" or "Save Copy As".

If it works under a differnt User Profile, let me know and I will send instructions on how to repair the User Account.
