Blogs have become a popular tool in todays internet revolution. Interested in knowing more about Autodesk Employees who blog on various Autodesk tools, educating people on a daily basis Learn More.
I get a lot of people who are confused by the file formats and their compatability between releases. Some wonder why onve version won’t open a certain file and others wonder why their files are not readable by others.
Sometimes it just comes down to file formats.
Here is the lsit of what versions store in what formats.
Drawing File Format Applicable Releases
AutoCAD 2010 File Format is used for:
AutoCAD 2010
AutoCAD 2007 File Format is used for:
AutoCAD 2007
AutoCAD 2008
AutoCAD 2009
AutoCAD 2004 File Format is used for:
AutoCAD 2004
AutoCAD 2005
AutoCAD 2006
AutoCAD 2000 File Format is used for:
AutoCAD 2000
AutoCAD 2000i
AutoCAD 2002
AutoCAD 14 File Format is used for:
AutoCAD R14
New releases can open older releases. Older software cannot open newer formats.
When you are saving a file for someone else, make sure that you save it in the right format.
If you need to open a file for viewing in a newer release that you do not have – use Autodesk Design Review 2010
AutoCAD Mechanical incorporates AutoCAD's capabilities with features
specifically geared for manufacturing, allowing you to save time performing
common tasks. These were the results of an Autodesk-commissioned study.
The Study in Brief
Autodesk designed the study and commissioned an independent consultant to
explore 10 common design challenges and shows direct comparisons of the time and
effort required to accomplish each specific task in AutoCAD and AutoCAD
Mechanical software. The same specialized tasks were completed 65% faster using
AutoCAD Mechanical. The following drawing of a custom conveyor elevator was used
in the comparisons. The tests are comprehensive in nature; the tasks were used
to create the drawing from scratch, maintain it, and reuse it in other designs.
For each task, the number of commands used, number of times each command was
accessed, and the total time it took to complete each task using both AutoCAD
and AutoCAD Mechanical were documented.
Key Findings
- Drafting and annotation tasks are 55% faster
- Design and engineering tasks are 85% faster
- Risk of errors was greatly reduced because of a 60% reduction in number of commands used
