exporting files to autocad 2004

[eSbok]

hey need help with exporting adt files to autocad 2004 format. everytime i export the file, it hang the computer. i have so many recovery files due to the many attempts to export those files.

the files are quite big in size (abt 4mb. max) and they are constructs and not views. i cannot export the views anyways because the constructs are the problem. any idea why this is happening???

i tried to explode all blocks frm the construct and it still won't work and i cannot keep binding the drawings.

sorry but isn't it the same command? that's the problem here...i cannot export it to any autocad format. tried everything n jus won't work...even copying everything into a new drawing and exproting it from there. jus couldn't figure it out.

i can superexplode everything but after dat i cannot flatten the drawings.

what application are you trying to export from?

i'm using ADT 2007 .but i found out what's been causing this to happen, its the spaces and prolly the mob of property sets that i have in it. what i've managed to do is explode all the room tags, wall tags and door tags to retain the visible information. and then delete the spaces and purge whatever styles/property sets that are unused in the style manager. only then will it be exported.

hope this will help whoever is facing the same problem.

Have you tired SaveAs, and then choose a file type earlier than the 2007 dwg version?

my computer is set to so that its by default that everytime a file is SaveAs...it will save as a 2004 autocad dwg.

If you had the free Autodesk software of Dwg TrueView you could do a mass conversion of a bunch of files at one time into the desired file format.

Don't know if that would help or not.

One thing's for sure...make sure you purge all, audit, and even run recovery on your dwgs to help clean them up. Also detach any xrefs that are not being used. That will help things go faster.
