    Importing a .dwg file

    Hi all,

    I am using Cheif 11.5 and tried to imprt a .dwg file a client sent me.

    I do this a lot and rarely have a problem, but i got a warning come up that says
    "Invalid dwg version"

    Does anyone know what the limits are for importing to my version of Chief? Ie...up to Cad 2005...or somehting like that.

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, that is what that means. I don't remember exactly what X1 imports but have your source save it as R14 and that will be safe, only takes a moment to do.
