CAD will not open
Thread Content
I don’t know why CAD won’t open it; I’m unable to open this DWG file because it was created using an updated version of CAD
Yes, the version they have is higher than the one you are using now, so it’s not possible to open it; ask them to save it in a lower version such as 2004 or 2000. Currently, versions 2007 and above are basically used
It can be opened with a newer version of CAD, or the person who sent the file can save it in an older version; generally, version 2004 is used for saving
Also, remember to ask him to send you the font as well
The CAD version installed on your computer is too old; either ask the person who sent you the files to convert them to version 2007, or download a lightweight CAD viewing software.
Download a DWG Trueconvert app from the internet and click to install it. Whenever a higher version is encountered, it can be converted using this program.
Lower versions of CAD cannot open higher versions; a compatibility package can be downloaded
