Unable to save or export to AutoCAD file

[sergej_dezelak]

In Inventor 2014 I gor this error (attachments) when I try to save as or export model to AutoCAD file.

Any answers?

Not realy clear what you are trying to do:

when a 3D *.ipt model: inventor Home + Export + Export to DWG should work

Then, is your 3D part a solid??

Try inventor Home + Export + Cad Format, and choose a SAT or STEP file

then open this in autocad with the command "ACISIN" for *.sat and "STEPIN" for *.step

when you are talking about an Inventor Drawing, you need to do inventor Home + Export + Export to DWG

the "save as type" must say an autocad dwg and not an inventor dwg then

Jurgen is right, we need more info.

Have you saved your inventor file first, is the output folder read-write? have you tried on another inventor session? a different inventor file ? a different computer?

I had that error come up before, it was because the folder I was trying to save to was write protected.
