Can't export dwg files from AC9 since update

Anonymous — Thu, 18 May 2006 13:43:09 GMT

Hello,
Since i've updated AC9 to build 2219, i can't export any dwg or dxf files anymore. I even tried publishing, saving, and via Plotmaker, nothing works. Even tried to adjust translation settings... no solution... don't know what to do next...
I always get the message 'cannot write output file'.
Thanks for any help.

I've neither had nor heard of any trouble with this on either Mac or Windows. I believe that it is only possible through publishing. Does DWF work? Perhaps the DWG/DXF translation add-on is missing or corrupted.

Thanks for your reply,
DWF works perfectly, DXF and DWG don't work.
I'll try to reinstall the export add-on.

Couldn't find the add-on seperate on the cd... Reinstalling ArchiCAD...

SOLVED!, well, not exactly...

When reinstalling Archicad 9, everything works perfectly...
When updating to build 2219, same problem again.
So finally, i repaired Archicad (to original build - v9), without installing the update.
I think there must be a conflict somewhere. I have no idea where it could be but the 2199 build does corrupt my DWG import/export add-on.

Thanks for the hint Matthew.

I have had no problems exporting dxf on 2219.. for what it is worth?
