Proxy problem will not open DXF AutoCAD

Hello,


I know this is a SW forum but since most places also use AutoCAD I thought I would ask anyways


Sometimes we get AutoCAD dxf files that we cannot open, giving us a "Proxy" error at the command prompt, any idea what this all means in genral ......??


Thanks.

1. what version of SW are you running?


2. what version of Acad was the dxf generated in?


I've seen and even created DXF files that I couldn't open because they were generated as a file type that didnt exist when the solidworks I was using was around. i.e. create a 2007 dxf and open it in a SW97.


good luck...

Well SW is not involved at all


Its all AutoCAD

2. what version of Acad was the dxf generated in?


3. what version of Acad are you running?


I've seen and even created DXF files that I couldn't open because they were generated as a file type that didnt exist when theACAD programI was using was around. i.e. create an Acad 2007 dxf and open it in a Acadv12.


good luck ...

The Autocad dxf is back saved to a v2000 from 2005, and even Mastercam cannot open it. Mastercam gives chain errors, and autocad gives a proxy error.

Its strange because some of these file do open.


Thanks for the input!
