I have ConversionPack 2.1 installed for V6.6. I would like to install it for V7. Is this possible and if not why not? Of course I could always open up V6.6, import a file, save it as a TS file then open it in V7. But that is a pain in the hoo-ha. I have tried opening DWG files in TS7 and I get a message stating that I have to have the Conversion Pack installed. But there doesn't appear to be any way to install it for V7.

I copied over all the .dlls that were part of the conversion pack on my version of 6.6, to my TS7 folder, and they seemed to work (at least in the model mode).

I dont remember off hand. Just look for the .dlls in your TS6 folder, and look at the tool tip when you mouse over them, or right click and look at properties. That will tell you what the .dll is for.

thanks Kurt..I put what I think is all of the files in ts7..seems it works except the import .dwg panel won't open..ts just crashes., but it opens the file... it seems to save dwg ok too.. other formats seem ok..so far so good..never thought of copying the files over..[ not sure why, I have done it to so many other things..like pyrocluster] .. ..:banana:

Did you copy the Opendwg.dll?


Thats the one that should do it.

yes I did..thanks Kurt..but it has the import dwg panel problem.. they won't be fixing 2.0, it was abandoned a few months after it's release with no support for ts6.6...so I'm impressed your copy method worked at all..:D
