Can anybody read this file into ACAD?

  Paul Lamar


It opened for me in AutoCAD 2010.  Do you want it converted to DWG?  If
so, what ACAD version?

Paul,

It opened, but I  couldn't get it to display anything with my
AutoCAD 2000 LT.
However, when I tried opening it in Rhino 4, it worked fine and the
drawing was
there.  I captured the two attached views from Rhino for you. Do you
need
anything done with the original?

Regards,

Jack Hilditch

Paul, here it is reduced to a AutoCAD 2000 file version.

Thanks all you guys and one or two more that sent files.

I got the problem solved.
I was exporting it as polygon meshes instead of curves.
Some programs had trouble with that.
Saving it as curves solved the problem.
Linux Q Cad and Open Office Drawing can now see them.

Paul,  When I first designed my rotary engine I was useing autocad
14. It got to the point that I needed to loft the shapes and path of
the ports which  I couldn't do in autocad 14.  I bought Rhino4
through novedge.com <http://novedge.com> and found I couldn't import
my drawings into it. I had a hard drive with Rhino 1.1 and added it
to the computer. Then I could import the autocad files into that and
output them as Rhino1 . with the 3dm file extension. That was
then automatically converted to the later .3dm when opened in
Rhino4.   only lines and polylines survived the trip.  No test or
dimensions but in a few minutes all the complicated curves could be
lofted into solids  which saved a year of redrawing everything. The
downloads from autocad work well. I often installed their "TrueView"
on customers office computers so they could view drawings
electronically and then during construction I could pull detailed
zooms of field fabricated sub steel for my crew and print on the
office printer.  There is also a similar program from autocad which
allows the customer to enter notes and corrections on the drawing
and e-mail them back. Both are freeware.

I needed dxf as the shop I work with has a NC plasma cutter that only
takes dxf files.

BTW if anybody needs something made like a SS muffler, an aluminum oil pan, motor mount or special intake manifold these guys can do it.  I will work with them for free if it has to do with the rotary. From time to time they need guidance. You can send me a sketch and I will convert to Rhino 3D and dxf
for the shop.
