AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Easy Way To Save Drawings Back To Earlier Product Release?
Jul 16, 2012
Autodesk should provide an easy way to save drawings back to an earlier product release, like an online converter utility for clients etc... I understand that people need to be pushed to get newer products, however by not having an easy way to change a file, it really punishes those who do stay current and get each release. For many years now I find myself drafing in a current release of Civil3d to utilize the latest features that improve work flow, then having to waste a lot of time converting projects back to each clients file requirement.

I have Revit MEP 2012 and created a small guest house in this program. I wanted to add some features using Revit Architecture 2011that are not available in the MEP program. When I tried to bring the files up in the Revit architecture program I get an error message that the drawing was created in a later version of Revit. Is there any way to save the MEP file back to an earlier version of Revit like one could do with Autocad drawings?

Having trouble with AutoCAD 2012 when saving to earlier versions? I can't save it down to any other version except for 2012, without the system crashing completely. It seems to be files that have aerial xrefs in them.
Also, from time to time we get the crash when editing MText.

I am using Autocad LT 2012 on Windows XP at my office computer. I Save a file in an earlier version e.g. 2004 or 2007 and email to home computer, Autocad LT 2008 on Windows Vista. The file will not open. Message is that the file has been created by a later version. THis has not been my experience with earlier versions.

1. Where is the Maximize Compatibility option in CS6 to save to earlier versions?
2. Does this option still exist in CC? If so, how is it enabled?

To update serial number it's in the abot dialog box. But how about product key? Is there a way to change it without reinstalling the product?
Situation: Autodesk Revit MEP Suite 2013 to Autocad MEP 2013.

Thought I might upgrade my PS to CC under the discount for existing owners scheme However, it won't accept that I have a suitible product despite having CS5 on my system. It is not on my products list. Six others are just not my PS products.
Put in serial number - says it is already registered - I know that - just not associated with me I guess. Deactived PS and tried again - same.

I tried the following method to save all drawing currently open. It always fire fill access arror, whereas AutoCAD can save the file wihthout any issue. Here I am checking for drawings that not even saved once and ask the user to take action for those files.
try
{
DocumentCollection docs = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager;
foreach (Document doc in docs)
{
string dname = doc.Name;
string s = doc.Name.Substring(doc.Name.LastIndexOf('\') + 1);
[code]....

Since this week we have autocad 2013 installed. Everything works correct except for the saving part , 90 % of the time if we save an drawing it crashes .
Error :
The program acad.exe version 25.0.55.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 1134

Application Path: C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2013acad.exe
Report Id: 2207e411-e213-11e1-8106-001a4b534618
What we did already ?
- Search on google
- clean install only windows & autocad 2013 installed.

- Intel Xeon CPU 5160 @ 3,00 Ghz ( 2 processors )

We did alot of research on google but can't really find an solutions , autocad 2012 had no problems with saving files.
Also tried different drawing but even if i start an new drawing and will save it , mostly autocad crashing.

Just curious as to whether people use much colour in their production drawings, particularly for hatches...?
Working for Local Government, we tend to utilise colour hatches to show all kinds of information.
Generally, we have found that colour hatches are a good way to clearly show different areas and materials such as pavements, paths, landscape areas etc. Hatches can then be used to quickly ascertain areas for estimation and our construction team like them too as the plans tend to be easier to read.
The usual arguments about reproduction of plans and slowing down of computers doesn't seem to be an issue for us. Most photocopiers are in colour now anyway and we just make sure that even in black & white the plans are readable.
The way that Civil 3D deals with hatching doesn't seem to slow things down for us either.
Currently using Civil 3D 2013 & 2014 SP1

Autocad 2012 was working fine until a week ago when it started taking a long time to open drawings--even search for drawings on our network. It also takes at least 30 seconds to save files, where it used to take 5 seconds at most.
I found the AutoCad 2012 and AutoCad LT 2012 SP1 Ribbon Hotfix, which sounded like my problem, but it is for Product Version F.107.0.0 and I have Product Version F.51.0.0.

It seems that even when the document was from a 2010 version, if I open it, and save it, it automatically saves it to the 2014 version cad.Is there a setting on Autocad LT 2014 that allows me to automatically save to an earlier version of CAD (2010) instead of the 2014 whenever I hit SAVE.

I run an action to prepare my photos for FB, 500px, Photo.net, etc., which reduces image size 960 x ?, 8-bit, sRGB, and 72 dpi. I then sharpen and add copyright info. However, when I use "Save to Web" it reduces the size of the photo and strips metadata for faster loading but reverts back to a 300 dpi resolution.

If I load a dll file into the autocad (using NETLOUD), and after a while I want to make some changes in the dll, then re-build it. In order to do so, I must close the autocad, otherwise I'll get an error ("Unable to copy file,,, because it is being used by another process..."). There is anyway to release the dll so I can change it without closing the autocad everytime?

The program doesn't freeze, the system doesn't hang, I get no "Can't save..." error message; the "Save" command just seems to do nothing. I can save to my Desktop fine, but across the network...?
InDesign and Photoshop will save wherever I tell them to, local or remote, but Illustrator apparently just doesn't want to be cooperative.
I'm running Creative Cloud on OS X (10.8.5) across a MS Server 2008 (I believe) network.

I would love to be able to customize Inventor 2013's user interface to make it look more like the older version of Inventor. You can do that with AutoCad Mechanical. You simply change the view to "AutoCad classis" and those annoying "panel bars" go away and you get a pull down screen.

How do you save down to earlier version? It doesn't let me when I do a save as and click on version I want. Just gives me an error message and shuts autocad down.
I have to save 2011 drawing down to autocad 2004. I sure hope its possible. It always has been with earlier versions.

Many of my videos seem to be trimming and saving to a file. With a HD video at a high data rate, all I do is trim the video and save back to a file. However, I select the "Same as first video clip" to save to a new file. What I usually do is save the file and use a third party software to reduce the video the data rate I need.
In other to reduce the re-rendering time, I wish both processes could be done in VS's 'Options' button.

After using Abobe Illustrator CS2 at work for years, I suddenly can't open old drawings and if I start a new one even if it is small, when I close it can't save do to not enough memory. There is plenty of RAM and room on hard drive. Already have restored from an older date. Even before we (IT guys and I) did the restore we un-installed they re-installed Adobe from disk, and we still have the same problem. This is a primary program used for about 90% of the work I do.

I have some issue in Trim command,.
(Please see the attached picture before read the below steps,.)
generally, I use trim command like this,.
Command: tr (enter) (enter)
select object: (I will select object which I need to trim)
it gave the results shown in the picture named "Earlier result"
But now I am getting differently like "current result"
But Earlier result is comfortable for me,.
Is this because of setting problem?
