Viewing ABS 2007 in AutoCAD 2004
« on: Sep 05, 2006, 18:59:44 PM »
I need to view a drawing created in ABS 2007 on a machine with AutoCAD 2004.

I looked for an object enabler but could not find one for ABS 2007 to AutoCAD 2004. 

Does anyone have a fix / workaround for this?  Thanks...

There is no way unless you save the drawing from 2007 back to 2004 on the 2007 machine, even then, ABS objects may not service a round trip. I think you have to do some sort of EXPORT from ABS 2007 so they are visible in older versions.
That is one of the reasons we did not make CADduct run exclusively on ABS 2007, too much pain for end users.
