Item Created in 2024 Having Issues with CAD Blocks in 2023 and earlier Versions

[ZTR88]

I recently created an item in Fabrication CADmep 2024 that has CAD Blocks referenced in the Product list of the item. In my 2024 version of Fabrication the item works perfectly.

In any older versions of Fabrication I get the "Error Loading Block.dwg from disk" message and the item fails to populate correctly.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if there is an issue with backwards compatibility that I am unaware of?

Thanks in advance

I dont use or have the 2024 version installed to test. Im still on 2021, but my first thought would be to change the file save format to an earlier version and check to see if the problem still exists.

I thought you may have been onto something there, but I think the latest version you can save to is "AutoCAD 2018 Drawing (*.dwg)" which should be compatible with 2023, 2022, etc.

Maybe if I recreate the CAD blocks entirely within an older version of CAD (2023) maybe the itm file will pull them without the error?
