autodesk bull

i had some pipe supports drawn in 2007, i am working in 2006, i saved the
files as 2006. i try to insert the supports into my main file & get this
message:

this application has detected a mixed version of aec objects participating
in this operation.
newer aec objects will be disallowed from participating in this operation.
WTF????????

 

Yes... From that verison of 2007.. you need to export out from autocad and
explode AEC objects.

Rather than rag on Autodesk why don't you look on the Support web site
for the object enablers that Autodesk already posted to address the
incompatibility between intelligent objects made in 2007 and 2006
versions.
But, if you don't like Autodesk products; demo some of the other AEC
stuff out there, none of it even comes close to what Autodesk is doing
with AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop, and Revit for AEC.
I'm sure now we'll get the Chief Architect, ArchiCAD, and Bentley
lovers chiming about how great those packages are. The truth is that
Autodesk is eons ahead of all of them.

I guess compatibility between the forced upgrades is too much to ask. my
deepest apologies!

 

Your not forced to a damn thing....

Just tell the people you get the files from to save it to a previous
version.

I been using Autocad since version 9 and never have problems converting back
to previous version. Plus autodesk even make a program for non-acad owners
to save to a previous version. Look it up. Drawing True Convert. The
greatest thing is.... ITS FREE!!!!!
