Hello,
My firm has been having trouble with dimension scale changes when re-opeing an AutoCAD file. For example, one dimension, set to 9" was 3' after the file was saved an reopened. Not all of the dimensions change though. Only some do. We are currently using AutoCAD 2014.
After searching some forums, it seemed that the problem was that our file had "Automatically Create Dimscale Override" checked in the Drawing Setup (AECDWGSETUP). But when I tried to uncheck this, I got the following error:
Command not allowed because drawing contains objects from a newer version of this application.
These may be objects from AutoCAD 2017 or 2018. I've tried saving the file down in AutoCAD 2018 to 2010 and 2013. I got the same error both times. Likewise when I saved down from AutoCAD 2014 to 2010 or 2013. And I could not change this setting in AutoCAD 2018 because it seems it no longer exists.
I also could not find a way to locate the objects from a newer version in the file.
Does anyone know of any work-around or solution?
Thanks!
