DXF DWG opening

Shamal Authar Feb 22, 2011 8:22 AM

Hi guys

Just a issue ive been having with DXFS and DWGS. when opening multiple files of these types at 1 go solidworks tends to crash with an error

"An Unsupported operation attempted"

This error only started in SW 2011. it was fine in 2010. what could be the problem.

Shamal,
What software is the dxf coming from and what version is it?

I ask, because in this thread this person had a similar issue.

  Hi scott
  
  The files are from autocad 2004 and 2007. when i select the repair sketch option then it gives problems.

    Hi Shamal,
    This sounds identical to the thread I gave you the link for.
    His was from Autocad 2004 as well. He said if he changed
    the version of export to 2000 or higher it fixed the problem.
    Have you tried this?

        I still go back to unless these dxf files are exported to 2000 or higher
        or created in a comprable version I am of the opinion that you will continue
        to have these problems.
