I have tried saving/converting Acad 2009 drawings to 2004 format. Seems to work fine. I then open 2004, select open file and I can see the drawing in the preview. However when I try to open it, there is nothing there but a blank screen.
Any ideas?
 
Hi jofus59,

Just guessing since you didn't mention it, but did you check if all layers are on, thawed, etc., and check paper space model space etc.

Also, is this all xrefs by any chance, if they are, you'll need to save those as 2004 models also.

Failing this, you may try just saving them as 2000 versions.

Thanks for the tips! After discussing it with the engineer who needed this done, found out there was some sort of problem with his drawing. He wouldn't tell me what it was and I haven't heard from him since. Operator error I guess. Thanks a lot!
