    drawings wont open

    hi all
    i have some drawings that were run through a raster to vector program that i can open in acad 2006 but i cant open with turbocad is there a file size limit on turbo cad? i ask this because i have gotten to know turbo cad and dont really want to have to learn acad 2006 any suggestions?
    thanks james

    Try saving as a version 12 .dxf from AutoCAD 2006. Use Save As, and choos the last option in the file type box.

    hi ger
    i have them saved as r12 dxf and dwg and neither will open with turbocad it acts like its opening but doesnt and i end up having to shut the program down. its odd they open just fine with autocad 2006 they are blueprints for rc planes that i have had scanned to a cd in tiff format then used raster2vector to get dxf files so i can trace the parts in cad so i can generate g-code to cut the parts.i guess i might have to start learning 2006 so that i dont have to isolate each individual part, so that i can redraw them all on one page then separate them out into the cutting templates of the various thicknesses of woods and types.

    resave them from AutoCAD, using V12. Apparently the conversion program isn't saving them 100% correctly.
