Unable to Open Autocad File which is Converted from Unigraphics NX6.

[jamkhp]

Hello all,

I have to open the files which are converted from Unigraphics NX6, and run some routines, but I am not able to open the Autocad through .net api, my code is as follows

Dim Filename As String = OpenFileToConvert.FileName  ' I am selecting the Dwg through OpenFileDialog
Dim acDocMgr As DocumentCollection = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager
acDocMgr.Open(Filename, False)

Even if I open the dwg manually and then save it again to Autocad, I am not able to achieve any success.

And I would be glad if someone suggests me a code to work with, without open the file at all.

 Herewith I am attaching the sample file which I am not able to open through vb.net in Autocad.

Using AutoCAD 2012, I do not have issue opening your drawing manually, or by code like this:

Document dwg=Application.Documentmanager.Open(@"C:\Temp\Model1.dwg");

or read it into a database (i.e. not open the drawing in editor):

using (Database db=new Database(false, true))

{

    db.ReadDwgFile(@"C:\Temp\Model1.dwg", FileOpemMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, true, null);

}
