AutoCAD 11 - DXF Import "Incorrect Format"
DocumentID: 601736
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:29:20 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A file is saved from AutoCAD 11 as version 10 in DXF format. When retrieving the file into a graphics box in WordPerfect, the customer still received an "Incorrect Format" message.

Another customer was unable to retrieve a 3-D file from AutoCAD 11 correctly. Solutions: The customers ran DXFIX, then did a DXF in and a DXF out from AutoCAD 10. Then, the graphic was converted to a .WPG file through GRAPHCNV. The file then retrieved correctly into a WordPerfect graphics box.

Note: This is a workaround because version 11 is not currently supported. Any features added to version 11 will be lost in the conversion to version 10. Customers reporting problems should have an enhancement request written up for support of version 11.
