Can not save to DWG?

[Anonymous]

For some reason, I am not getting the option to save or publish to DWG? Any thoughts on what I may be missing?

I've had this happen a couple of times, and end up re-installing AC.

Check under the add-ons manager.
I know that if you don't have the dwg/dxf input /output loaded, you won't be able to save to dwg.

I just checked my Add-on manager and it shows my "dwg-dfx in-out" add-on as "The file is an outdated Add-on that cannot be used with this version of Archicad"

I saved the add-on from another computer here at my office to my computer and tried to upload it using my add-on manager, but I still get the same message.

Huh -- well, this seems to be your problem. What build are you on? My guess is you have an outdated Add-On which needs to be replaced with one of the same build.

Yep, I think that's it.

I just recently changed offices and the originial computer I was working on was up to build 1176. Now, on my new computer, the AC10 is only up to build 1010.

I'm dowloading the latest version to see if that works.

I'll let you know how it comes out.

mm... build?

what is build? " it seems like the name of hotfix?"

if so.. how i can have a version.. with a different "build"?

"mm. i guess its not hotfix"

When you click About Archicad, you get a graphic with a small "build number" on it.

That number tells you exactly which version of Archicad you are using. The latest for Archicad 10 is build 1183.

Sometimes if you deal directly with Tech Support, you may get a different build than the public has.

That was the answer.

I assumed all our computers were up to date with the latest version, but I was wrong.

I downloaded the latest build and all is back to normal.
