DWG import - error 83

[teaguejb]

I'm using VW 2010 Spotlight (SP2), and I am having trouble with a dwg sent to me by a colleague. They are using AC 2007. I've tried converting to 2004 and 2000 via trueview. Nothing seems to work. I always get error 83 from VW. I can import the title block file without a problem. There must be something corrupt in their working file. Any suggestions how to resolve? I've attached their working file.

Here is a list of DWG error messages:

I don't know what it means, but it does look like something is wrong in the file.

Ray,

Thanks for the prompt response. I did check the error code list, but it's not clear to me how go about resolving the issue.

/* 83 */ AD_DID_NOT_FIND_DIMSTYLE_TO_DELETE,

I know what a dimstyle is in AC, but why is the importer trying to delete a dimstyle? Should I ask the original user to add a dimstyle? Any other thoughts?

Sorry, I don't know the answers, maybe you could call NNA tech support and they would have an answer.
