schwi Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Hello I'm new to this website. Maybe someone can help me. I have received a file made in autocad 2015 (i think) I'm using 2007!!! Downloaded trueview 32 bit for windows XP but it's not able to open the EXE. maybe someone is able to save as 2007 this file for me! Best, F. Brodeur_existant_pieds.dwg Quote
Squirltech Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome. Open the .exe? You should be opening a .dwg and then do an EXPORT to the desired format. Quote
Dana W Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome. Open the .exe? You should be opening a .dwg and then do an EXPORT to the desired format. Maybe it's Trueview that won't open its install EXE. Quote
Dana W Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 It's converted to 2007 format. Brodeur_existant_pieds_2007.dwg Quote
schwi Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Yes! it's the EXE to install trueview that's not working. Quote
schwi Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 I just opened the file!!! Thanks Dana. Quote
eldon Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 If you cannot get Trueview to work, have you tried to use AutoCAD 360? It is free and you can upload a drawing and then download it in a version to suit. Quote
Dana W Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Wow, I just discovered that AutoCad 2015 LT has the drawing convert program built in. Quote
samifox Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 hi can someone explain what a viewer has to do with dwg convertor? (just cant see the contaxt) Quote
Dana W Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 hi can someone explain what a viewer has to do with dwg convertor? (just cant see the contaxt) AutoDesk TrueView is both, and is the most functional of any dwg file converters, and it is free. AutoDesk combined the two utility programs back in about 2007, or maybe 2009, I think. They are no longer available separately. Quote
