Today's the big day... *GAH, HELP!!!*

[DJ-Studd]

when we upgrade from MDT2005 to MDT2007 and from Viz 2005 to Max 8.

Should I be nervous?

oooo sounds exciting!
not sure about the MDT upgrade but the viz to max will be sweet!

[DaForce]

woohoo...Max8 will go fine for you.. dont forget to update to sp3 (for max) as well.

[jacksc02]

dont forget to get the 3dsMax8_RealDWG_2007.msp it will help with bringing things from MDT, ADT and ACAD

[DJ-Studd]

Thanks guys.

jacksc02, do you know how "3dsMax8_RealDWG_2007.msp" compares to the Mechanical Desktop Object Enabler that we currently use?

Cheers!

i think it is the new object enabler (dont quote me on that though)

[DJ-Studd]

Hi Guys,
I've kind of got a (big) problem here.... Max 8 imports the DWGs from both MDT2005 and MDT2007, except the models all import as Editable Splines and not Editable Mesh'.

Heeeelp!
Our Autodesk support guys are all away on a conference in New Zealand at the moment and we have to complete this upgrade in order for a new drafting member to start on Monday next week

Thanks guys.

[DJ-Studd]

Oh, too easy

[jacksc02]

[DJ-Studd]

Thanks Chris,
That should be in your inbox shortly.

In the mean time, I wonder... would our Acad 2007 license allow us to install a "copy" of Acad 2005 until such time that we can resolve the problem?

It's not like Autodesk are poor, they just received a $24,000 lump sum from us....

you can install 2005 and just run it as a trial version for 30 days.

[DJ-Studd]

Good point!

30 day trial version it is
