Quasar for iMac and now I cannot access my drawings.

[warpwr]

I was in the Alpha and Beta testing of Quasar for iMac for several months.  

I worked on several projects using those versions and they were saved in those versions of AutoCAD.

The test has now endedQuasar for iMac and now I cannot access my drawings.

I cannot use TruView to open and save as an earlier version because it will not work with Windows 32 bit which is what I have.  There is no TruView for iMac.

I do have TruView 2017 but it will not open the drawings.

Any suggestions will help please?

this sounds more like a quasar problem than Autocad

have you contact support for Quasar?

It is AutoCAD Quasar.  AutoCAD for iMac.  The .dwg files are compatible with either iMac or PC versions.

Except the versions I saved are too new for my PC versions of AutoCAD or TruView so I am stuck.

One possibility is to download the latest trail version, open and re-save my drawings in earlier versions.

I'm not sure I am ready to sign up to buy the latest just yet.

Thanks for your reply.

you will need to post on the autocad for mac beta forum to see if this is a known issue

Hi Vaughn,

Download AutoCAD for Mac 2020 trial from here:
https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/free-trial
or here:
https://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/download.asp?fileID=2374
Open each drawing you saved in 2018 DWG format and resave them in earlier DWG format you need.
You have 30 days after you start to use Trial version on your Mac.
