looks like you have to go through vanilla Autocad first: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-c...

Hi @Anonymous,

This error usually occurs when saving a file that was originally created in Autodesk Mechanical Desktop (MDT) in AutoCAD Mechanical.  The article provided by @DarrenP explains the issue and offers a solution.

Please post and let the community know if this worked for you.

Following the links to the resolution, apparently to an article by @DarrenP , and I arrive at "Page Not Found".

Was the article deleted or did the article move?
