Update after update MS CE keeps crashing when I try to open any dwgs with it. I wonder when this will be fixed. Until then, MS CE will be practically uselss for our company.... This problem gets more and more frustrating because V8i doesn't support ACAD 2018 format. Right now I am seriously considering shoud we dump Microscation for good and start using ACAD CIVIL 3D instead?
I think your keyboard is broken, especially the exclamation mark key.
Sorry, it just wercks my nerves that this major issue haven't been fixed yet. I have filled a service request last year but so far it has lead to nothing. We have had this problem for the very first version of MS CE. Now we have UPD 12 and the problem remains unsolved.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist. I feel the same about some very basic annoyances (haven't checked if these have been removed in CE12 yet, gotta wait for the German version) but I stick with one !
As to your DWG error: so far we had no difficulties opening any DWG with Powerdraft CE2 to CE10, neither under Win7 nor Win10.
