Opening AutoCad drawing in Illustrator CS6

I am very skilled in CS5 and CS4, however I have updated to CS6, However I am unable to open a simple autocad .dwg into CS6
I am using Autocad 2013
I did not know if i need to down save the file to an older autocad file. Or is there a new way of opening an autocad file into CS6
Thanks
Jake

You will need to downsave the file to an older version of Autocad or export it as a PDF or possibly an EPS.

Unable to open AutoCAD dwg in 2010 file format with Illustrator 15/CS 5

Hello,
We are trying to open some dwg's with illustrator that are saved in the 2010 file format. We get an error "The file "XXXXX.dwg" is an unknown format and cannot be opened.", if we save the same file down to the 2007 format it opens as expected. Try to understand if that format just does not work with Illustrator 15 or if there is a template setting we did or what as it is all dwg's in that file format and as I said same file saved a format down works fine. The issue with tis solution is most of our illustrator users dont' have AutoCAD so this is creating a bottle neck.
Thanks,
Tyler

This is a workaround, but the Dassault Systems ( the company that sells SolidWorks and Catia ) has a free CAD program called DraftSight that will open a
2010 DWG file. You could then do a SaveAs to an earilier DWG format that AI can work with. They have free versions for both Windows and Mac.

I use the Windows version, and it works pretty good - but my background is more CAD than AI.
Good Luck

Unable to open illustration. ID=-50

Hi, The topic on how to (maybe) fix this problem seems to be closed to replies so I'm starting a new thread. I have had the error Unable to open illustration. ID=-50 on a series of files which were, due to my diligent (paranoid?) method of working, several stage-by stage variants and incremental editions of a very large, very IMPORTANT file I was creating for the kind of client you don't give excuses to. The files, almost in their entirety, were unopenable and reporting the "Unable to open illustration. ID=-50" error. I discovered the error after I re-booted, having previously received a message telling me to re-install my tablet drivers, after which my machine ran very erratically. When I went to open the files, I was given a rude shock as file after file, version after version gave me the same error and refused to open... Oh, except versions 1 through 4. I was on version 28 at the time...<argh! Hulk smash!> Fearing imminent death at the hands of a client, I figured out a workaround. It may not work for all of you, but please do try it. It may just save your hide from something you didn't cause in the first place. Hint: Adobe!! The first thing I did was to go and buy icecream: The industrial strength, full fat kind that'll send me to an early grave. I needed the support only empty calories could bring. :) Now onto the tech stuff: Back up everything first. Don't open the files, just copy them somewhere safe. Now, I selected the most recent version of my file and opened it by doing the following: Open Flash 8 (I don't know if this works in other versions, but this was the one I had on hand) Make a new document Click on the File menu Select the 'import to stage' function If a dialogue box appears reading "This file appears to be part of a sequence of images. Do you want to import all of the images in the sequence?" click 'Yes' In the dialogue box that should appear next, click the following radio buttons in order and nothing more: Convert pages to Scenes Convert layers to Layers Which pages to import: All Include invisible layers Maintain Text Blocks OK The file should import as vector graphics but everything will probably be expanded. You may lose a few shapes. I did, but the vast majority was still there. I experienced some cropping though. This is not a perfect fix, but it should give you more to work with than nothing at all. If lots of things seem to be missing, look at the Flash timeline and make sure all the layers are visible. I freaked out and invented all new words to explain my situation before I realised half my layers were turned off. ;) Now, I exported the image from Flash as an .ai by clicking File>Export>Export Image. I chose Adobe Illustrator 88 as the version, but play around with the version settings, you may get a better result, you may not. Open the image in Illustrator Zoom out to the max, as the image may appear off the canvas. You'll probably have lost your layers. A pain, but at least the graphics are available. You may be able to work around this by exporting layer by layer from Flash or by doing something cool that I didn't think of at 1.30 in the morning. :) In Illustrator, you can't move your graphics from off the canvas to back on the artboard, as Illustrator gives a "Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area" error. Instead, select all (Ctrl+A) and cut the objects (ctrl+x) Make a new document Paste the objects in the new document (Ctrl+v) If you're like me, you'll have a fair few mistakes to fix, and your brushes library will have gone, along with your existing brushes having been expanded. It does however seem to keep paths, so you could re-instate the brushes if you want to by loading an external brush library and putting everything back by hand. My hat's off to you if you want to try that. :) Bugs: I have had errors where the image has shown up in C

...oh, there's a word limit? Okay, that explains why the last half of my thread was cut off...;)
Here's the rest:
Bugs:
I have had errors where the image has shown up in CMYK whereas before it was RGB. I found this happened when I exported out of Flash using Illustrator 6.0 as my version. I solved this by exporting as 88. I also got more objects that way. May be coincidence, who knows.
That's it!
SAVE AS!!
I got paranoid and saved about 4 individual copies before I dared close and re-open to test the tenacity of the file. It seems okay...so far. You'll hear me screaming from the 4 corners of the globe if it's not.
I agree with the forums that using a Wacom or similar tablet coupled with brushes, the scissor tool and even the expansion of brushes was possibly to blame for this disaster.
So...
I save often, back up regularly (not that it really matters since the error seems to be a dynamic fault that ruins the file on the fly..) and I haven't switched my computer off, nor closed Illustrator since I started again with using the aforementioned scissor, tablet combo, a necessary evil for me right now.
I'll close both the file and Illustrator when the job's been sent, approved and I can physically hold the printed version of my work in the client's magazine.
Better to be safe than sorry ;)
I sincerely hope this roundabout fix helps someone to at least ease the anxiety and understandable fury that this error causes. If not..well..you bought that icecream, right? ;)
Happy Illustrating!

Unable to open Captivate v5.5 with Windows 7

A colleagure created a project using Captivate v5.5 / Win XP.
Now she is trying to open it with Captivate v5.5 but with newly installed Win 7.
After clicking on the file to open it, the progress bar stops at 30% and nothing else happens.
The project does not open.
Does anyone know why this might be and how to overcome the problem?
I am on v5.5 / Win XP and it opened OK for me.
Noel

OK here is what we have and still we have no luck.
My colleague had a laptop with Captivate v5.5 and Win XP. Everything was working just fine.
She just had Win 7 installed and is unable to open the project.
After checking - she had Admin rights and she is trying to open the project from within Captivate, and still no joy.
I sent her one of my v5.5 files, still she cannot open it.
Not being a technical person you must excuse what may seem a dumb statement but could it be that newly installed Win7 is drawing more resources (or other techinal bits) from her laptop than Wix XP did, and as a result Captivate v5.5 can no longer run correctly?
Does she need to take her lap top to IT and get them to ensure she has extra "oomph" to run Captivate now she has Win 7?

How can I import an Autocad drawing in LabView ?

Hi, I am new in this forum and have just started to use LabView and the DSC module. My question is: Is it possible to import an Autocad drawing in LabView and use it as a background picture with dynamic I/O tags on top of it, e.g. to import a picture of an office and then place status info of temp, light level, doors open/closed etc. on top of the background picture. If anybody has got some example code they would like to share, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
LVDSC supports the BMP and WMF file formats for images. If you can somehow convert your Autocad drawing into any of these formats, using them in your VIs is easy.
In the Tools>>Datalogging & Supervisory Control menu, you'll find an Image Navigator. This image navigator will allow you to import your images and copies them to Clipboard which you can later paste onto your front panels.
If you can't convert or 'save as' your Autocad drawing to a BMP/WMF format, as a last resort, you can take a screen dump (hit Alt+PrintScrn) and save it as either of these formats.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Khalid

Opening AutoCAD files

Question:
What Adobe drawing program will open AutoCAD DWG files made using a more recent AutoCAD application than AutoCAD 2007?

One of the caveats is that, as the Illustrator CS4 Help file says,
"Adobe Illustrator * Importing EPS, DCS, and AutoCAD files
Importing AutoCAD files. Note: Illustrator will not open AutoCAD files saved in a
version later than AutoCAD 2007. AutoCAD files include both DXF and DWG ...
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-.. 64k"
and that has been what I have encountered.
Sorry, I don't know how to get this message back to the "forums" location.
Thanks, anyway.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
deleted all the information from my MacBook Pro HD.
Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
"Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
Not sure what else to do.
I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
Any help please!

Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Unable to open Apple application

Last week, I did the most current software updates. Ever since then, I have been unable to open certain Apple programs such as iChat, Skype, Preview, Pages, Photo Booth, etc. I have tried to download AIM, but the computer says it isn't supported. Also, now when I try to open Photo Booth, it says my graphics card doesn't support it, but I have never changed the card from the one the computer came with. The programs will open up, and then immediately quit, and I am left with "The application _____ quit unexpectedly" message. No matter how many times I relaunch and reset, ignore, or report, I can't get them to open. I'm in college and really have no way to get to a Genius Bar for a few more weeks, and I don't have the Leopard disk with me. Is there any way I can fix this on my own? Thanks!

I think it was the repair disk permission that actually worked for me. I tried it once and got no result, and then tried to download the updater. For whatever reason, I couldn't even download that. So I went back and did the disk permission repair again. It still didn't seem to work, so I just turned the computer off out of frustration. When I turned it back on, it was all fixed. So I'm not entirely sure what it was that fixed it...all I know is it works now!
