SaveAsDWG() Failure

Sing · Post by **Sing** » 06 Jul 2021, 11:29

Hello

I found a .dwg file that is not saved.
Could you please check why the method SaveAsDWG() returns false?

http://magzog.com/input.zip

Code: Select all

string filepath = @"../input.dwg";
var cadImage = CADImage.CreateImageByExtension(filepath);
cadImage.LoadFromFile(filepath);

if(CADImport.Export.CADtoDWG.SaveAsDWG(cadImage, "output.dwg"))
{
	;
}
else
{
	;
}

Thank you.

Hello Sing,

Unfortunately, the link http://magzog.com/input.zip is broken. Please check it.

Hello Sing,

Thank you for the file.

We have reproduced the problem. The method SaveAsDWG() returns false and doesn't create the output .dwg file, and the DXF export generates an invalid DXF file which gives the following error when opening it with DWG TrueView:

Code: Select all

The following error was encountered while reading
in LINE starting at line 83332:
Bad color index -8
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

So apparently the problem is connected with Bad color index -8. I have forwarded your DWG file to CAD .NET development team for further investigation.

Hello Mikhail

Thank you so much. I will also check if the person made it used some AutoCAD plugin.
After investigation please let me know. It would be useful for us.
Thank you again.

Hello Sing,

The problem is fixed in sgcadexp.dll which comes with the latest build of CAD .NET (14.1.0.49115). You can download the latest build at this page: https://cadsofttools.com/products/cad-net/download/.
