convert x_t to dwg

[Anonymous]

Maxim,

If you're out there, John Vellek--he's out of the office for a couple of weeks--suggested I contact you.  I am running AutoCAD 2018 on a MacBook Pro (mid 2015) running OS 10.13.6.  I've been given a ParaSolid x_t file, and I need it converted to a dwg file so I can work with it.  Is this something you can help me with?  I've attached the file--it's not terribly big--2.4 MB.

I've tried posting twice, and it doesn't seem to be working--maybe 2.4MB is too big, if so, an error message to that effect would be nice.

In any case,  I've zipped the file--it's now 716KB.

Thank you,

P James Norris

Hi,

I'm not @john.vellek, however I converted the file and attached it here.

Please verify the units and the geometry itself as I can't give any warranty).

Mr Neswadba,

Thank you very much for the very quick reply and converted file--I really appreciate it!

I'm able to open the file, bu when I do, I'm given the attached warning, and I'm not sure what it means.  Are the 409 unsupported objects not being displayed?

Thanks!

Hi,

interesting, is this file attached now showing the same messages?

Mr Neswadba,

No, the file now opens without the warning about unsupported objects--can you tell me what you did differently in this conversion?  Are the previously unsupported objects going to be visible/editable?

Thank you,

Hi,

>> the file now opens without the warning about unsupported objects

Great, so you can continue to work 😉

>> what you did differently

The first file was created with AutoCAD 2019

The new file was created from the previous file + run command -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD and saved it back to DWG-2013 format.

>> Are the previously unsupported objects going to be visible/editable?

That are no geometry objects (in case of that file), it's just some additional settings within the file (maybe from ObjectEnablers I have installed) you won't use/need to use.

So at least: what you see as imported geometry is the same 😉

Hi

I saw that you managed to convert an x_t file to DWG.
I wonder if you could do the same for me or tell me how to do it myself.

Kind regards
