installing conversion pack to 6.6

Post by bkjernisted »

Is there a way of doing this? I believe it was meant to be installed on 6.5! Thanks!

Yes, conversion pack install requires tS6.5
I still have tS6.5 + CP on a USB key but honestly we don't really need it. CP's formats are outdated and everytime I try to import some DWG I just get an error message.
The best workaround is to export the Audocad scene in DXF R14 compatibility format, or better : export in EPS or AI formats which load much better in tS.

i have the conversion pack installed on TS 7.6.
i can import nurbs from autocad.
ps: TS can import AI file but only under version8. if you have CS you can export an illustrator profile as a dwg file and it work fine with TS.

There is no installer for that but i have all the uncompressed files from the installer. All i need is to put these files on the same folder where the TS7.exe is (c:\trueSpace76\ts\). It work with 7.6 and 7.61 model side. This manual install add the possibility to read autocad dwg (polyline and nurbs) and macromedia, viewpoint, stereolithography, directX, 3d studio, iges, standard acis,...
before import, be sure to read a version compatible with these dll. It is an old importer but if you can save a dwg in a compatible version, it work. See the option on the dialog box of the importer to know what you TS can read. If you want a zip files of the uncompressed conversion pack, send a message in my box. Even if the soft is dead we can't post this kind of link on the forum.
