AEC messgae
« on: January 05, 2012, 03:24:53 AM »
Hello guys .

Sometimes when I am trying to save as a copy of a drawing to old version of Autocad  I receive a message says " which means" This
would create or add AEC objects to the drawing , and after that I noticed if I copy and past objects inside the same drawing it would
take a very long long long time to proceed the action.

Besides all of that , the size of the drawing would be increased each time open and close the drawing .

How to purge or delete these AEC objects from the drawing ?

Many thanks .

try the command

-EXPORTTOAUTOCAD <enter>

and then follow the prompts...

This will make a new version (copy) of your drawing that still has all your objects - they simply don't have the AEC baggage that comes along with them.

Note: In AutoCAD, don't forget the minus sign before the command...

Better still use DWGconvert and process all drawings for that project at once. I know this command is in 2012 and possibly in 2011 as well.

Thank you all guys .

Isn't there a programming solution for that problem without exporting to another drawing ?

Thanks so much

Not a reliable one that I have found.

can't you manipulate files with lisp?  AECTOACAD command exports a cleaned drawing to the same folder with a preset prefix (or suffix)

_AecExportToAutoCAD20##?  :?

Example:

Code: [Select]
(command "_AecExportToAutoCAD2007")

Edit to add - This works for both Land Desktop Companion 2009, and Civil 3D 2010-2012; tested using LDC 2009, and C3D 2011.

I did not know that - so I tried it - and the AecToAcad command also works back on LDC 2009 (oldest version I have)... I had no clue! Never used the command before today.  :oops:

I appreciate the clarification, Matt (sorry Nibs!). LoL :beer:

DWGConvert also gives these options and doesn't require the creation of new files (although you can do so, if you would like).

but, DWGCONVERT doesn't clean up AEC content.  :-)
