2004 dwgs and need to them in R14 format...

AutoDesk has a converter but you have to have 2004 to use it.

Anthony,

This program will create a script for use with AutoCad to batch process this conversion. Give it a try.

Site mentions functionality up to A2K only. The OP wants 2004 files converted.

Hi Anthony,

Although there isn't a way for 2004 to directly saveas to R14, (AutoDesk removed this feature in 2004), you might consider saving as R12 DXF, and then importing that older file format into R14 (I suppose your customer has R14?)

The only way to do this directly is to use AutoCAD 2002 or 2000 (the SaveAs r14 feature is still enabled in these features)

If you want to do this in a "batch" mode, (or any other batch functions), you could take a look at a tool called Hurricane

With it, you can setup scripts to saveas to whatever your current version of AutoCAD can handle.

Hope this helps you out, Bill

If you go to the Autodesk site, they have a tool to do this. They had enough complaints that they thought it was a good idea.
