Export format from QCAD for AutoCAD

[nick]

I imported a 2D AutoCAD dxf file (v12) and added some layer information - its a drawing of an island with about 45 layers on it covering everything from Global Heritage information to buildings to services and utilities. I am now trying to export this file back to the client and whatever format I choose he is unable to read it either with his version of AutoCAD or AutoDesk and we had tried about 6 options on the export format. Can you pls assist.

Files exported from QCAD 3 (please check your version of QCAD) should be readable by Autocad. If not, please attach or e-mail the drawing file for testing, thanks.

Hi Nick
What I normally do when importing older files from AC is:
1. Import file.
2. Before I do anything I save file again in QCAD 3 as current version dxf/dwg.
3. Make addition's etc.
4. Save file and send to client.

Thanks Clive - seems I should have saved as a dwg/dxf format before I proceeded. I will send the examples to Andrew in response to his mail and for his to kindly test.

Many thanks
Nick
