[mapguide-users] MapGuide Studio and DXF / DWG problems....

[Dave Wilson]

Based on earlier threads from Bill D it may be related to registry
entries and items from earlier versions.

On the other machines did you have any previews installed or just the
release stuff? I suspect that on the working machines you never had any
Studio previews installed.

Mapguide was first in my case and no I don't run them at the same time.
I have uninstalled Map2007 and studio and then re-installed Studio with
no change in results.

When I run Studio I watch the status line and it goes through the entire
load sequence and after loading managedmapapi it says opening test.dwg
and immediately gives the dbx cas4 4 error.

I can see the load sequence happening on a machine that works and it is
the same sequence.

Which product was installed first? I assume MapGuide was last?

You aren't running both apps at the same time are you? You can only run
1 MapGuide instance when doing DWG imports because of the underlying
Autocad engine that is loaded. That would imply you can't run Map or
Civil at the same time either. If it's not a runtime problem then it has
to be DLL's.

Andrew,

Sorry I misread your post a little.  The 2d/3d issue is not with DXF it
is with DWF.  I was having a problem with both but the DWF was just the
3d issue.

I have AutoCAD Map 3d 2007 on my machine.  However, I have tried it
successfully on other machines that have the same version of the
software and it works fine.

There is definitely something strange going on here because you are the
third person I know who has this issue.  Not sure how Autodesk resolves
it if they cannot reproduce the problem.

After posting here, I did think to go check the Autodesk groups and saw
your post (with no solution). I don't see why they're be any 3D info in
my dxf, but I'll give it another shot tomorrow and make sure it's 2D
only.

As for the version, this has happened with all versions available from
the Autodesk website. Currently I'm using the latest one with SP1......I
should also note that I've got AutoCAD Land Desktop and Civil 3D
installed on my PC.....conflicting dll's sounds to me like a pretty
logical problem.....the only question is how to fix it!
