Hi,
I quite often am sent files saved in versions of AutoCAD more current than 2000, and I get this message when opening the file. I always have to reply to them to get the file re-saved into AutoCAD 2000 version.
I am wondering if there is any way around this from my end? Is there a program I could download that would convert the file? Is there anything I can do within Build 7.2 to get around having to bother the client?
Cheers,
Daniel

Apologies, I searched and couldn't find anything before posting Smiley

Daniel, if you do get stuck have a look for a free program called doublecad by imsi, which should do it. Failing that, there is a free version of progecad.
