dwg version(s) <--> acis (sat) version(s)
dwg version(s) <--> acis (sat) version(s)
hi all,
i am locking for a documenation (information) about what acis version(s) can be used in what dwg (version) .......
best would be a list like:
--------------------------------
acad12: ??? (acis version(s))
acad13: ??? (acis version(s))
acad14: ??? (acis version(s))
.......
acad2004: ??? (acis version(s))
.......
--------------------------------
thanks in advance

autocad r12 had no acis.
autocad r13 - 2002 uses acis 4.0. acis data is saved to file as encrypted (xored) sat (text format).
starting with autocad 2004 a special autodesk's version of acis is used which is incompartible with "standard" acis. the data is saved as encrypted (xored) sat to dxf and sab (binary) to dwg.
if you have dd modeler support enabled dwgdirect will take care about converting the data to appropriate form (version and sat/sab).
if dd modeler is not enabled the data will be saved to file only if it's format matches dwg version. else empty 3d solid will be saved.

hello sergey,
thank you very much for your information.
as i understood i can just always use (standard) acis version 4.0.
because i am also using dd modeler in my source:
>................................................. ...........
> odmodelergeometrycreatorptr pcreator = pservice->create();
> odarray<odmodelergeometryptr> out;
> pcreator->createmodeler(out, &satfile);
> for (unsigned int i=0; i<out.size(); ++i)
> {
>................................................. .........
best regards
