DWG to .MI for charts
Recently I have received a bunch of charts with data in them from a sister company. The files sent were DWG.
While in Annotation on the MI drawing side, I tried Open > Import 2D with nothing showing up on my drawing. Next method was Open > DWG with no results either. A box appears with the following verbage, "Data has to be migrated to Annotation structure. Press confirm to continue." I press confirm and nothing appears. Am I missing something here? CoCreate is at 15.00A Thanks a bunch for reading this and any answers.

Re: DWG to .MI for charts
Could be one of several things, but two that come to mind are that the drawing might be in paperspace if coming from autocad. There is a switch in the dxfdwg settings for this.
Since you say it's a chart, the data might be in a format that the converter doesn't handle. Post one here or send it into Support to have a look at. |

Re: DWG to .MI for charts
Gary, good to hear from you. Thanks for the help with the corrput part and the sectioning the other day.
Well, the chart is only a bunch of lines and text. Nothing in the chart is driven by a spreadsheet nor calculated table data. So, being that simple, it should load rather easy. OK, I'll call support and send in a file.

Re: DWG to .MI for charts
So DXFDWG.EXE is the program to run first before loading in a DWG or DXF file into the MI Annotation part of CoCreate.

Re: DWG to .MI for charts
DXFDWG.EXE is the executable used to translate DXF and DWG files to MI and MI to DXF or DWG. It is run whenever you import/export DXF or DWG in Annotation or Drafting. It can also be run independently but it opens an old fashioned text UI in a command prompt window. There are no settings available from this UI either. You have to edit the file DXFDWG.CON (which is located in the same folder as DXFDWG.EXE) to change settings. These settings will affect import/export in Annotation and the text UI.

Re: DWG to .MI for charts
Is there a way to convert Applicon Bravo .dwg files to .dxf? I have a bunch of Applicon Bravo files that we want to run in SolidWorks. Prefer to convert without running the old applicon software.

It's amazing that your company did not translate those files back in 1989-1992 to some other CAD system. Today, AB is part of the drawing package that makes up Unigraphics NX. It was the big fix for UG drafting package side back in release 11.
