Su crashes when exporting dxf or dwg
-
I'm been trying for some time to export a dxf or dwg from a drawing (enclosed), I've stripped the drawing down to almost nothing, flattened it, descaled all the symbols but every time it crashes, I've also tried for diff Acad versions, even R12 fails, although R12 also messes up symbol names even if it does work! Ideally I want Acad dwg 2000 or 2007 - could one of you have a go at it?zipped version 8 windows, unzips to 9Mb
-
I don't have anything on this PC to open this to see if it worked but it exported without any issues. Have a look.
-
Even when it doesn't crash the output is next to useless for an autocad user...

Thanks Box, @ least you got something out, but it exploded all the components down to lines (which Acad year did your export as?), and yes ArCAD SU is somewhat indifferent when it comes to dwg export, it's just that it's never failed completely for me till now. Well can't sleep so I'll have another go...
-
OK So I did a full uninstall and reinstall. Other job files export to dwg fine, the only difference with this file is many of the components are scaled.
[note to self for future ref] So don't scale components again that I intend to export.
-
one way to do it is to explode everything before export. also, Revit works at great work around. You just insert your sketchup model(which you should explode because anything scaled comes out inaccurate) into revit and export out as dwg/dxf
-
First off.. Anything scaled in sketchup is going to export skewed and off.. So, always save as new and explode everything before exporting to dwg/dxf. If that doesn't work. Open it up in Revit and export it from there. Works everytime
