Converting 2013 to 2010

[Anonymous]

When I try converting, this message appears.

The file is attached and screenshot of the message.

If someone can convert it to me and tell me how he did it, i will be thankful.

Can you not just saveas and change the dwg format in the dialog to 2010?

I saved the file as autocad2010, but i am not sure whether it is converted or not.

How can i distinguish between files, whether its now autocad 2010 or still as it is 2013?

Hi,

I just converted the files to 2010 format. There is no problems in the drawing (no errors occuring)

Just try AUDIT command and then retry.

I have attached the files. 

The first file when zoom extent was not coming fit because of some objects beyond distance (some dimensions). So you can select all and then deselect the

current drawing components and erase the others. OR you can just copy the drawing components in a new drawing and save as 2010 (1st drawing with name -K1- Radiators and Boxes's places).

If you open it it will say opening xxxx format file. Just don't accidently save it again because by default autocad saves as the current version

I am sorry. I cant know which one of them is the converted one.

How Can I know whether this is a 2010 AUTOCAD FILE OR A 2013?

HI,

there is a lot of unknown image files attached to your file.for that and for completing the converting procedure  i suggest to press Modify button and make sure that Bind External Reference is unticked (that if you don't need to bind) see below image.

Note:

when i make all of your layers ON i discover that a lot of things appeared that it may corrupt your file later on. see below image

Good Luck..

Hi,

Both of the files are on 2010 format. The first one I copied the drawing to a new one. So you will find only the four layouts. All the turned off layers will not be there. That's why the size was reduced to 984kb. 

For checking the version of a drawing please check the article below

Running an AUDIT command on your drawing found 236 errors.
