Drawing doesn't print after being converted by my program.

I created a program for conversion, which converts layers and dimensions, among other things.
My program runs on AutoCad 2012, had no problem with regards to AutoCad 2012.
The problem is when I try to print by opening the drawing in AutoCad 2008.
The preview is blank.
Does anyone know some configuration that possibly I changed or I forgot to change so that it is correct?
I'm putting the drawings before and after converted to see if anyone can help me.
Already, thank you!

The drawing (before) prints in AutoCad2008.
The drawing (after) doesn't print in AutoCad 2008.

My guess is a version issue. 

 

Does your program do something like myDB.SaveAs(dwgfile, DwgVersion.AC1800)?

 

IIRC dwgversion.ac1800 is acad 2004.  You will have to search here.

While opening the After in Map 2008 these errors are displayed

** Undefined block #-1
** Undefined block #-1
** Undefined block #-1

While Auditing;

Erase 300 objects

using Recover:

Pass 2 12100   objects audited
211     Blocks audited

I don't unnderstand Spanisch but it looks alright to me after recover.

 

I can't see how you convert entities but you have to consider that the (dynamic) block structure is changed a lot and maybe the hidden blocks (*Dxxxx, *Uxxxx) as well.

 

You may explore the DWG's using the Inspector or export to DXF to find the problems.

Hello fieldguy!
My program has the following line:
document.Database.SaveAs(document.Name, true, DwgVersion.AC1021, document.Database.SecurityParameters);

 I do not know why, but do not have the "DwgVersion.AC1800"

 I tried to save other versions, but not solved. Even so thank you!

 

 Hello SENL1362!


I had not seen it, thank you I will try to solve these problems.
May resolve the issue of printing.

That's right SENL1362!
Thank you. The problem is the routine that converts the blocks to dimensions.
Without this routine has no errors and the drawings can be printed.
I will check this part of the code. Without this routine, the blocks associated dimensions are exploded.

It is a converter for drawings of Tekla Structures. Smiley Tongue

Dear NayaraFJ,

 

       I personally aslo work with Tekla and I would be interesting in your program. I was trying to find something for converting drawings from Tekla to dwg with appropriate layers, but I stopped cca 80% from my goal.

 

Could you please help me on this topic?

 

I would very appreciate, if you can contact me on my e-mail: drochytek@steelpro4.cz . 

 

Thank you.

 

J.
