Autocad Import Bug Splatter
-
I have created a structural layout in ADT 2006 using components created from structural member styles. I've tried to import this into sketchup but sketchup just shuts down and create a bg splatter report every time. Even if I export to autocad.
I've attached the exported autocad file in a zip file if anyone thinks they can import it.
Cheers

I tried to open it in AutoCAD 09 and it said the file was corrupt. its kinda wierd casue i can see an image of the file in the thumbnail preview, but i cant open it.
When i tried to import it into SU it crashed.
Maybe there is something wrong with the file.

AutoCad 2009 has a bug that may report a perfectly good file from an older version as corrupted, see Knowledgebase article at
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=11328222&linkID=9240617
so the file might be all right in itself.I would guess that what happens here is that SU is quite unable to import special objects created by Autodesk add-on applications like ADT, Autodesk Architecture and the like.
What puzzles me is that even the Exporting to Autocad function doesn't help. Did you try to save the "Exported" file to an older format like ACAD 2000 or 2004?Edit: I opened the file with Autodesk TrueView 2008 and converted it into ACAD 2000 format. This imported into SU without a hitch, but all I got was a bunch of 2D I-beam cross sections. In the SU import report it listed that a lot of proxy objects were ignored. I wonder if your "Export to AutoCad" command ran as expected? The presence of those proxies would indicate to me that there are still special objects present.

That's exactly the same as I got into SU Gaieus, but when viewed with Autodesk Trueview (free download from Autodesk, and it converts ACAD files to older formats) there are things that look like a framework of beams in 3D.
