Importing .dwg problem
Hi all,
I just tried to import a .dwg file, which works most of the time, but tried to do one a minute ago that came up as "invalid DWG version".
I am guessing the source of the drawing is a new Cad program, so was wondering which versions of Autocad are supported by Chief 11.5?
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Regards
Scott

Scott;
check under MENU - FILE - EXPORT what versions of Autocad Chief X1 can handle
try to get the source of the file to re-send as a version you can use or try Accutrans to convert the file to a version you can use

Autodesk has a free CAD viewer as well.
You can open up any version .dwg or .dxf file and save them as older releases.
