I've been having trouble saving my Powercadd files into DWG. PowerCADD quits midway through the saving procedure. It just doesn't make sense that I have been able to convert some PowerCADD files, but that is if the PowerCADD files does not have a lot of drawing content/layers/sheets. I have Powercadd 7. Please let me know if this can be resolved. Thanks

You say it doesn't make sense, but you then seem to indicate that more complex files don't work as well. I don't know if this could be a memory issue. Try this. Make a totally new file of the same data. I found that there was something wrong with one layer of my stationery, no matter what was on that layer. So every file that included that layer would not translate properly. I had to move the objects into a fresh file (not a stationery file). _________________ Peter B
