When i try to import a Viso exported DFX/DWG file stardraw crashes, giving me the following error:

Runtime Error / Program: ..... stardraw audio/stardraw.exe / R6025 - pure virtual function call.

Tried allready to open files in acad 2002 , and export it as an older dwg/dxf file, but still getting the same error.

The original files we're viso's but we've only got the PDF's from the original designer.

So we've converted them to WMF files, so we could open them somehow, and try to export them to DXF/DWG.

We've also tried the pdf to dwg export but that also didn't work.

Any one has any suggestion?

Thanks

We used AutoCAD 2007 to open the .DWG you posted and simply saved it out again as a R2000 .DWG.

I'm guessing that there's a hatch object in your converted .DWG that your earlier version of AutoCAD doesn't like.

Try doing the following in AutoCAD.

Open the .DWG, Select all objects and explode. 

Repeat explode until there are no more objects to be exploded (usually 2 or 3 explosions should do it).

Type: QSELECT at the command prompt and hit Enter.

In the Quick Select Window under Object Type - select Hatch, then choose 'Select All' as the Operator - Click OK and then hit the delete key.  The command prompt will display the number of hatches that have been erased. Note: Looking at the original drawing you posted here - hatches didn't form any visible part of it - I would double check at this point that this is true for the drawing you're now trying to convert and that you're not loosing any information.

Finally save the drawing as a R2000 .DWG and open in Stardraw.

Please post back and let us know how you get on?

Kind regards
