How to open .dwg file in Illustrator 6?

I am unable to open .dwg files in Illustrator 5 & 6 on my new Macbook Pro (OS 10.7.4). I get an error message "the plugin cannot be initialized for the lack of the initialization file "ADINI.DAT"." This computer had AI transferred using Apple's Setup Assistant.
I can open the same .dwg file on an different MacBook Pro in both AI 5 & 6 (the AI installation here was by disk).
It looks like I may need to remove & reinstall AI on the newer computer. But before I do that I'm wondering if there's an easier way. What do I need to do to be able to open .dwg files using AI6?

Reinstallation is the simplest solution.
You may want to be a tad clearer in the future regarding version numbers. It'll simply help get answers faster. Illustrator version 5 and version 6 are drastically different than CS5 (version 15) and CS6 (version 16).

Default open dwg files in Illustrator CS6

I frequently use dwg files in Adobe Illustrator, so I set dwg files default program to Illustrator CS5.
We recently upgraded to CS6 and when I opened it, it didn’t update the default program. I tried using the “open with” menu. Illustrator CS6 doesn’t show as one of the options, so I browsed for it, selected it, clicked ok. The dialog box closed, but CS6 wasn’t added to the menu. I received the same results using “Associate a file type with a program” in the Control panel.
Any ideas how to make Illustrator my default program for dwg files?
Thanks

It is not related to Creative cloud but a OS specific issue. You didn't mentioned the OS but I pressume it is Windows because we have seen this on Windows.
Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.
Mine is set in top right to 'View by' Category. I clicked on Programs (green link).
Under Default Programs I clicked on the blue link for 'Make a file type always open in a specific program'.
Wait for 'Loading..'. to finish. Make sure the list is sorted by Name and scroll down to '.dwg'. Select it and click the button for 'Change program...'.
Do no see Firworks listed in the Recommended Programs, so click on the small triangle to the right of Other Programs. Select Fireworks and click the OK button.
Wait for the list to reload and confirm the association changed.
Hope this helps !!

Why can't I open DWG files in Adobe Illustrator CS6?

Why can't I open DWG files in Adobe Illustrator CS6? I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mountain Lion & got a new Mac Pro. Then I signed up for the Creative Cloud. Now I cannot open any DWG files in Illustrator. Why?

No, not really. I do get a few error messages when I start up now, but I had transferred everything from my old computer, so figured it was a glitch. The error message was a dialogue box like the others, only it said this:
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/.DS_Store/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/ES1000Service/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
"Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/Parallels/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
I know for sure we have not used Parallels in the past 2 years that I have been here.
As for the other two star-tup items, I am not entirely sure what thier purpose is.
Would any of these have anything to do with it?

How to open .cmx files?

Hi,
I have data of images with .cmx formats. Do you know how to open them with Adobe Illustrator on Mac?
Thanks.

Kurt Gold wrote:
See if you can purchase an older Mac compatible version of Corel Draw. You'd then be able to convert the .cmx files.
That is exactly what the OP does not have to do they can do that now.
They cannot open it directly in CS 3 or CS5 which is what they are asking.
I have an old license for the Corel Suites for the Mac that would run on my G3 and could like the op easily open the files but that would be a hassle.

Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator. Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums? You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Opening DWG files in CS

Is there a way to open or import DWG files in AICS?

File>Open is one way
Fie Place is another way
depending on the type of support the file has will depend on how it opens the files. Fr instance 3D is not supported by AI.
But dxf and dwg can be opened and export from AI. It is one all the time, It may not open the very most current version though.

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh Jain

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
Cheers, APC

How to open CR2 files in photoshop elements 10

Who knows how to open CR2-files from a Canon Powershot S100 in Photoshop Elements 10?

Hi,
The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
Which operating system are you running on?

How to open NRW-files in Lightroom 4?I

just bought Nikon's Coolpix P7800. It says you can shoot in Raw. Now I want to open these files in LR, just like I'm used to with my SLR's. But Nikon uses the NRW-format for Raw and LR says it doesn't recognise the files. Does someone know if there's a way to convert and work with these files in LR 4?

Thanks Jim for your response,
I will upgrade to 5.3

created by JimHess in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussionThe only way to use those files with Lightroom 4 is to convert them to DNG using DNG converter 8.3 or higher.

How to open aspx. files in OS 10.8?

is this the right place to ask how to open aspx. files in OS 10.8.2?

Unfortunately aspx is a generic extender - it is a report generated by a server running Windows .net - it isn't an extender that actually tells what kind of file it is or what kind of data it holds. That's something you either have to know before hand so you can force the proper program to open it (or change the aspx extender to its real extender) or you have to find out what the file is.
At work our system's report generator gives everything an aspx extender. When I generate a report I decide whether it should be a PDF, Excel file, etc. After downloading the file I change its extender appropriately.
