Vince Paske Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 The file link manager in Max 8 will not link acad 2007 files. Anyone know if/when there is a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa2 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I've been told "not until max 9 comes out" . Sounds wrong, but I heard that from a guy I know that works closely with Autodesk. I thought they would release an object enabler, but he says no. So I just set AutoCAD 2007 to always save to the 2004 file format. It works for now.

Vince Paske Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Thanks Gary. Currently I'm the only one in my office (why are 3d guys always used as guinea pigs? ) using 2007 so I have to save back to 2004 format anyway. I was experiementing a discovered it didn't work.

TheAllusionisst Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Come on! How do you expect Discreet to keep up with every little change AutoDesk makes in their drawing format to hinder the competition, seriously Max would have to be owned by the same company as AutoCAD for that sort of integration and cooperation to take place, Ooops wait a minute, OoooH, Nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazdaz Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Come on! How do you expect Discreet to keep up with every little change AutoDesk makes in their drawing format to hinder the competition, seriously Max would have to be owned by the same company as AutoCAD for that sort of integration and cooperation to take place, Ooops what a minute, OoooH, Nevermind LOL. On a side issue - did they really change the format AGAIN in AutoCAD 2007 to support all the new features in the program?!? Geez! I thought they would have pro-actively changed the format the last time (2004) to "future proof" the files to be forward compatible with the major changes in 2007. I guess that kind of forward thinking is just too much to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Has anybody else experienced a licensing incompatibility with AutoCAD 2007 and Max8? Another student here ran into this problem - it gives an error that says "license status 0.1.0011" when trying to run Max, after installing ACAD2007. I looked it up on the Autodesk web site and it's supposed to be a problem with SATA hard drives and there's a fix but it doesn't appear to work. I have SATA hard drives so I guess I'll steer clear of 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
