DWGEditor and Ext.refs

Hi,

how can I open file with external references (file(s)) that are missing?
Just getting errors..

 

Markku,

I am able to open drawings using the DWG Editor, where the XREF files are
missing. Errors are displayed, but I would expect to be warned about the
missing files.

What exactly are you seeing?

Is the entire drawing composed of XREF files?

File is not opening, trying to open will cause DWGEditor to crash with
this error message:"Error -- buffer overrun. This file may be an Acad R14
beta format file" and another one following that:"A shell command was not
executed properly. Please confirm that all command line parameters are
valid and try again(2)"

I'm just trying to open file by doubleclicking it, I'm not running command
line or anything. And if I open the Editor first and use it's Open-command
I'll get the first error message and then nothing (Editor is not crashing)

No, I can see that with Voloview, it tells me what are the missing
references as well..

Markku,

I had the same error with a AutoCAD Drawing with no bitmappreview in
it.
I have opened the drawing in AutoCAD and saved it with a bitmap preview
and the drawing started up oke.

Regards,

Bert

No, I can manage...thanks anyway.

 

I thought the whole idea of DWGEditor was to get rid of the Acad...

 

You are right, but there are some bugs in the DWGEditor( which I have
submitted to my VAR)
Try to open a DWGEditor DXF File into AutoCAD 2000, It will not work.
So do not get rid of your (old)AutoCAD program.
I use 2000 with DWGGateway to translate the new (2004/2005) DWG files.
Maybe the DWGEditor is better in SW 2006
