trouble with a shape file
« on: August 21, 2006, 04:37:20 PM »
I am trying to insert a shape file into a CAD drawing (LDD2000). I am ignoring data elemts with no coordinate conversion. when I try to import, CAD locks up. My processor is at 99%. I even tried to let it run all night!

Any ideas on this?

I don't know much about importing SHP files and nothing about working with them in 2000, but if you can post the thing, I will try to get it to work.

-edit-

scratch that - now I see the attached file.  I will see what I can do with it. :oops:

OK, 2006 was REAL cranky about it but I imported the shape into a drawing file.  Here is the r2000 DWG file - I have a DXF if you need it but it is almost 6mb

That massive purge sure didn't get rid of a lot, did it?  :laugh:

No more fatal error, but the CPU maxes out, but CAD is still running. I will try to let it run for a while and see what happens.

Just for grins, I tried a purge and got no change at all.  Then I saved the file and it grew larger.

The thing only has 38 polylines in it on one layer - I don't know what is taking up the space.

There must be something wrong in translating to the old formats, 2006 opens it with no problems.

This might be a lot to ask, but can you save maybe half of the polylines in a block for me?

If that doesn't work, here are the two major drainages in 2000
