Teigha Library Error 2018

[Moto2]

Ive been having this issue with DWG drawings since 16.  Whats the deal? I have a lot of dwg's I cannot open, costing me valuable time.  What is causing this?

Im running the latest version of VW 2018 SP4 so if it doesnt work with the latest version looks like a dead end.

To rule out the possibility that the DWG you’re trying to import is too new for the version of Vw you’re using, open the DWG file in a text editor application, like either macOS ‘TextEdit’ or Windows ‘Notepad’. The first six characters in the DWG file header will tell you the file version as follows:

 

AC1009 - DWG Release 11/12 (LT R1/R2) 
AC1012 - DWG Release 13 (LT95) 
AC1014 - DWG Release 14, 14.01 (LT97/LT98) 
AC1015 - DWG AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 
AC1018 - DWG AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 
AC1021 - DWG AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009 
AC1024 - DWG AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 
AC1027 - DWG AutoCAD 2013/2014/2015/2016/2017 
AC1032 - DWG AutoCAD 2018

 

The Vw2018 Help File says that “As of this writing, the most recent DXF/DWG version is version 2018. The Vectorworks program imports versions 2.5 through 2018, and exports versions 12 through 2018.”

 

@Moto2 as you’re having this problem in Vw2018, this should not be the cause of the Teigha problem that you’re having.

Looks like Auto CAD 2013? While I dont see the indicators you mentioned I do see the txt AutoCad 2013 in the first line toward the end.

You're correct - that DWF looks like it was created in AutoCAD 2013 and Vw2018 should be able to be open it (Vw2018 Help File).

If you haven't already I'd contact Tech Support.
