Hi Don,
We are working in V8i. Aecosim.
We need to be able to reference dwg's produced by CADDuct. Alternatively, convert them to dgn.
Is there an OE for CADDuct?
Many Thanks
Dominic
CADDuct might have been renamed to Autodesk Fabrication(perhaps the vendor was acquired by Autodesk)? Check Autodesk website and search for the OE. You may still find the version you need. Keep in mind that not all OE's and/or versions are created equal. Some work better than others, and some may not work at all.
We know that Fabrication OE 2018 crashes RealDWG 2018. Autodesk has been made aware of the issue.
Thanks, Don !
So, I found a download for the OE here.
If we need to convert the CADDuct objects to something that Mstn will recognise (without having to explode everything in ACAD) what would we need to do?
Map_Solids was not in the registry. What can I do now?
I assume you searched Maps_Solids as opposed to Map_Solids? Attached screen capture shows what it looks like from Fabrication OE 2018. Might be worth to try manually adding the missing key HKLM\WOW6432Node\Bentley\ObjectDBX\AECOsimBuildingDesigner\08.11.09\<ACAD internal version>\Applications\Maps_Solids for the version you use? Cross fingers about key name being the same.
Still no go...
You are probably using a shared RealDWG - try adding the key at HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bentley\RealDWG<versions>\<version>\Applications\ instead. If still no go, check your Message Center and see if the OE (the file pointed to by LOADER in your screen capture but not completely shown) is even attempted to be loaded.
I am trying to open a .DWG file produced with Autodesk Fabrication 2017 with OpenPlant Modeler.
I am getting this error:
The designer who supplied me with the file has also supplied me with an Object Enabler executable. Is there a certain place where that needs to be installed so that OpenPlant will see it? How do I connect the dots between the OE & OPM?
