OT: AutoSketch .SKF to .DWG

[dmroeder]

Anybody have AutoSketch?

I have 11 .SKF files that I need converted to .DWG. From what I can gather the file extension belongs to AutoSketch and it can save them to .dwg.

One hang up is going to be the file size. They are about 1.4MB a piece. I can get them to whoever can convert them via DropBox. Just keep that in mind...

Thanks,

Dustin

Converts them to a higher rev but it may convert to .dwg also.

You may want to download and install in a VM and give it a try

Thanks for the link Kid. It appears that it only likes SKD format. Just for fun I changed the file extension to SKD but no dice.

We have a autodesk support account so I asked there for you.

Look at FAQ 5 it appears that you can import to autocad and make a .dwg

I think they mean that you can turn AutoSketch files into DWG's from AutoSketch, not turn AutoSketch files into DWG's in AutoCAD. At least I cannot find a way to bring them into AutoCAD.

A friend of mine has auto convert.
it might convert the files.

i check with him and see.
the only bad thing is that he is on a dial up modem, he's way out in the boonies, so you'll have to mail them to him.

regards,
james

We'll just buy it. I thought I'd check with the forum to see if any users had it since we will probably only use it once.
