A Group: Forum Members Posts: 15, Visits: 49	Hey Team, Item 1: I am trying to export to CAD, and am receiving the subject error code. I have read on old posts that this may have something to do with images within the drawing. It is a plan drawing I am editing, where I have inserted Excel 'copy & paste' tables, they are being stored as images - a concern? Item 2: Exporting curve lines is incorrect - Original View: - Export view: Item 3: Images stripped on export - Original: - Export: Would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks Alan

If no, then it sounds like something is holding open a file that is associated with the exported DWG i.e. one of the .PNGs that is created to persist the images in the original project file (eFileAccessError simply means "I can't write to a particular filename") If you still see the error when saving to a different folder, please email the .S07 project file, along with your notes on the issue, to techsupport@stardraw.com. If we can reproduce the issue then we can understand what's actually happening and provide a solution. Kind regards, Rob Robinson Stardraw.com

This is because the other application is holding the DWG and associated PNG files open, locking them against being overwritten. The solution is to close the DWG in the other application, or export the second DWG to a different folder. 2) Arcs: if a Group containing Arcs has been Mirrored, in some cases the Arcs can be displaced when exporting to DWG. A fix is being investigated but in the meantime the workaround is to Ungroup any group that exhibits the issue, prior to exporting the drawing. Kind regards, Rob Robinson Stardraw.com
