Unable to open DWG

[Harry Rhodes]

Good morning.

We export data from ArcGIS into a Shape file and then try to move from Arcv2cad to Autodad. We are gettinga " Unable to open DWG " error message. Once you click OK it shuts down Arcv2cad down. We are using 5.0.

Hi Harry,

re.
We are getting a " Unable to open DWG " error message. Check that you have not already got an identically named dwg open in AutoCAD or other application (AutoCAD puts a lock on any dwg that it has open.)

It is also usually a good idea to download the latest update of Arcv2CAD (currently 5.0 A.59) if you have not already done so, in case it was a bug that has been fixed.

Otherwise really the only way for us to analyse what might be causing the problem is to get hold of the shapefile(s) that the problem occurs with. (Send to our Support email, listed on our contact page.)
