HD Pro - Exporting to DXF files

[Rich Winsor]

Hey John, wish I had better news but I'm getting the same results as your plan printers.
I tried exporting "All Floors" and "Current View" to DXF files and I also tried changing the
background in AutoCAD from black to white. In all cases I got the following error message
from AutoCAD when opening the file:

Unknown value "AC1027" encountered in drawing version
Invalid or incomplete DXF input - - Drawing discarded.

As was the case with your plan printers the mouse does not display in the work area, only on
the menus. Don't know exactly what all this means, but it seems like a compatibility issue
between DXF versions (if there is such a thing?). Because I'm using an old version of AutoCAD
(2005) I tried opening the Home Designer Pro 2014 DXF file with my SolidWorks eDrawings
which is a communication and collaboration tool for SolidWorks and AutoCAD data. It opens
DXF files saved in AutoCAD 2005 with no problem but it won't open the HDP DXF file either
(see image). All this being said everything points to the HDP saved version of the DXF file
being invalid or corrupt in some way. Have you tried running this by Tech Support?

If they don't have a solution I think you may be SOL on this one.
