Well, not really a SUM. No replies and no fix found but, I figure there's always another way to skin a cat.
As the DWG would open in the Autodesk Trueview cad file viewer, but would not open in Mapinfo or even Corel Draw, I suspected some newer file format change that UT could not handle. Found a DWG to DXF file converter at AnyDWG http://www.anydwg.com/ which would read the DWG file and allow me to output it to DXF which I specified an older file version. This works quite smoothly. Converted the DWG to DXF's, and I have re-imported the DXF's appling the needed transformation to my desired projection and all is well with the world now :) I found the limited evaluation version of AnyDWG at http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimedia_and_Graphics/Misc__Graphics_To ols/DWG_TO_DXF_Converter.html David Reid Colbert County 9-1-1 Colbert County Alabama -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Reid Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 3:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MI-L] Memory error converting DWG with Universal Translator Greetings list, I've never in all the DWG conversions I've done, run across this problem. I guess it could be a corrupt DWG file but it opens fine in the Autodesk Trueview viewer. Universal Translator keeps producing the following error with a dialog entitled "SmartHeap Lirbrary" "Out of memory. Please free some memory, then choose retry." I've rebooted the pc to make sure any rampant apps have cleared memory but I still get this error message. I've tried translating to both *.tab and mid/mif still no luck. The drive partition this dwg is being converted on has 3.6 gb of free space, the temp directory on another partition of nearly 1 gb of free space. The last few lines of the mutlog read: STATUS: AutoCAD Reader: AutoCAD Load is 96% complete abnormal program termination Unable to generate mapping file. Anyone seen this before and found a fix?
