LEAFS Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Having problems exporting out VW file to AutoCad 2000 DWG using VW 11.5. I am turning off all of the fills and hatches check boxes. I have walls that are cavity walls and they have a stipple hatch, even with the hatch off it still imports them into the DWG file. I re imported the DWG into VW and it shows up and it should not. It has the same problem with a hatch in a symbol as well. This was done on a G4 1.8 GHz, 512 RAm, OS X and Vectorworks 11.5. Any help? Quote Link to comment
Lucid Phil Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'm also having trouble exporting to DWG from 11.5 only mine just crashes the program every time. Its a simple 2D drawing with lots of layers, classes and viewports but I'm carefully not exporting invisible classes etc. What can I try? Quote Link to comment
Lucid Phil Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I opened the same file on another computer with V11.0 installed and it all worked a dream, successful export. So I think there is a bug in 11.5 Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 The HatchName bug was in v11 but v11.5 fixed it really good ...to the point where hatches & Vector FillPat are no longer corrupted but they may be persistently 'locked' into the class structure. Looks like export to DWG may require a middle ground option. Quote Link to comment
Thom Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 How about starting to develop exporting using the "XML" format. Many other programs have gone this way and seems to answer many of the dwg limitations. Quote Link to comment
Ben Clayton Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I am also having problems exporting DWG files from VW 11.5 (exporting from 11 works fine). Can anyone supply a fix or work around for this. Is there a response from Nemetschek? Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment
Ben Clayton Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 As an update to the post above, the export to DWG problem seems to be apparent with only some files, and was introduced with the latest update (i.e. the 40462 update). I have files that consistently crash Vectorworks when completing the export if someone from Nemetschek would like to review them. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment
