I am attempting to open a file in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2019 that contains CADWorx objects.  I have installed the CADWorx Object Enabler 2018 but the objects are still showing as ACAD Proxy Entities with box in there place.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Object Enabler to no avail.  How con I get these objects to show as they were intended?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

If you do not need the model intelligence you could export  the Cadworx file to a (.SAT) file and bring it in like an Xref.

 

I've opened a Cadworx file  in plant and is only showed the center line of the piping.

Stupid question time: are you certain the OE installed and is recognized?  Does the OE support the version of AutoCAD/Plant3d you are using?

 

What version of DWG file are you saving the file as?
