Q-Cad Can't Open Drawings

Post by jkohler85 » Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:01 pm

Hi all,

I have been using Q-Cad for a few years now and have a weird one.

Decided to repurchase the license today and now I cannot open my .DWGs, the program crashes without fail on most files.

It will still open 1-2 but many crash the program with out opening. Happening on PC and MAC.

Help?

Josh

Hi Josh,

make sure the new downloaded package fits to your OS and the correct 32 / 64 bit system. A QCAD update is always a full version - don't mix it in the same folder with an old installation. Use always a new(?) empty folder for the update.

If you followed this simple rules and still have problems to open the drawings please attache (or PM) a trouble making drawing for further investigation. Thank you.

Hi,

Yeah I do not believe it is an OS issue.

It's a 7MB file so I can't attach it, maybe that is the problem?

Thanks!

That's huge - could be a Memory problem. If you are willing to send the drawing to my e-mail then I'll provide you my Address via PM.
