With this release of DWG TrueView™, the complete functionality of DWG TrueConvert™ has been incorporated into DWG TrueView. DWG TrueView software now translates DWG™ files created with AutoCAD®, AutoCAD LT®, or other AutoCAD-based applications to the 2009 DWG file format.
DWG TrueView software translates DWG files created with any Autodesk or RealDWG™ software licensee product to the AutoCAD R14, AutoCAD 2000, AutoCAD 2004, and AutoCAD 2007 DWG file formats.
You can convert any version of DWG files created with AutoCAD-based products using the DWG TrueView software.
No. You can install and run the DWG TrueView software with or without any version of AutoCAD installed on your machine.
The DWG TrueView software uses the same DWG engine as AutoCAD does to convert DWG files. Therefore you can expect precisely the same output as the software Save As command.
No. DWG TrueView software only converts DWG files to newer or older versions of the DWG file format.
DWG TrueView software will be available in English and Japanese.
When you create Autodesk or third-party custom objects in AutoCAD DWG files and save your drawing with proxy graphics turned on, you can convert these drawings and maintain visual fidelity of the custom objects. However, you cannot edit the drawing in other releases. To modify custom objects in other releases, explode the custom objects in the drawing before you convert it.
If you want to convert drawings created with AutoCAD® Architecture or AutoCAD® Mechanical software, use the Save to AutoCAD DWG feature before you convert the drawing.
For drawings that contain custom objects, it is recommended that you do not use the DWG TrueView software to convert them to a newer release.
When a drawing that contains custom objects is converted, the custom objects themselves are not converted. Unexpected results might occur if you attempt to open the converted drawing in a custom object application.
