Re - conflict between autocad and SW

If anybody has had similar experiences or can shed light onto the
What version of AutoCAD are you using? E-Drawings (and the new drawing
editor)
do NOT open the latest/newest versions of DWG files.

You may have to switch the default application back to Acad, if
running a newer version ...

 

I'm using AutoCad Release 14 (ancient i know)
PDMworks 2004,
edrawings 2003 (must have forgotten to install 2004),
xchange works is not installed,
no changes to OS

I believe that SW2005 has acad built into it, so hopefully, when it is
released i shan't need to worry about acad anymore.

Our VAR is working on the problem, if they find a solution i'll post
it just in case somebody else has the same or similar problem (as long
as the user agreement allows me to). They did ask me to check the
"acad.rx2 file for any lines with "EDW" in them, only got one with
"PDM" in tho.

thanks for your replies so far

While I am not personally running that combo now, a designer 2
cubicles down from me ran that very configuration for a year, without
AutoCAD problems. He wasnt big on e-drawings, tho.

 

E-drawings and the new DWG Editor will open AutoCAD files up to and
including AutoCAD 2004
