AutoCAD Export doesn't seem to produce valid DXF file

I was using the C# sample application and tried using the AutoCAD Export feature. The test.dxf file that's produced will not open in Visio or DWG TrueView. Visio says it's corrupt, and DWG TrueView hangs. We're needing this feature so that the diagrams we create Nevron Diagram can be edited outside out main application in Visio for reporting purposes.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please, send a support ticket accompanied with a sample project that demonstrates the problem using our support portal.

We decided to use SVG format instead as that seems to work. BTW, you can see the problem with AutoCAD DXF Export with Nevron's C# Example applications. The resultant test.dxf file does not open in Visio or AutoCAD's DWG TrueView.

Hi,

We tested again the AutoCAD Export Example and the DXF file seems fine. For example, here's the file opened in a free online DXF viewer.

During the development of the AutoCAD export we were testing with AutoCAD 2011, but the DXF files exported by Nevron Diagram should work with older versions of AutoCAD, too (AutoCAD 2007 or newer should work fine).

Hmm, not sure why ours isn't working then.  No matter now though.
