When Opening BS2005 dwgs in Acad2005, duct round corners look square. Is there a way to save/open the drawing so that it is possible to view the correct objects and dimensions in a standard Autocad? Also I would like the ability to snap to end points, which it doesn't do as well. I don't need the BS entities, just the ability to view as a solid and snap to options.

Look into this object enabler (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=4221469&linkID=2475161)

Thank you, this made it viewable. I don't know if something went wrong but it worked fine the first time, and since when I open up a Building Systems Ductwork it gives me a "fatal Error" and shuts down cad.

So for normal Autocad drawings everything is OK? (right)

Then if you open a drawing that started in or contains
BS objects if fatals out on you?

That sounds very odd. Perhaps you should zip that file
and post it here or forward it to me directly see
