AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application by Autodesk. The first release of the software started with version 1.0 in December 1982.[1] The software has been continuously updated since its initial release.

AutoCAD opens documents with DWG compatibility as a "DWG file format version code" where the specific version code can be found by opening the .dwg file in Windows Notepad or any text editor program. The file format version code is dependent on the AutoCAD version.[2]

I am using a very old version of autocad - the 2000 edition, on a very old computer. I work part time for a company putting simple 2D profiles (profiles of crown moulding, wood work decor) on their website. This is something I have done for years - all the features that I use are ones I am familiar with, just drawing lines, arcs, adding dimensions, etc. Now they would like to update their website and put on drawings that are in 3D. I can take the profiles I made in 2D and put them into 3D by joining them and then extruding them. (If this is not the best way to do this please correct me.)

I understand how to make it either a flat shaded or wireframe shape - and the gouraud shaded image is actually the closest to what I am trying to achieve. From there however they would like the profile to be finished in a wood grain texture. This is where I get stuck. I have limited experience with Autocad (only what I learned years ago in highschool & what I have done for them in the past - most of which has all be in 2D work). From messing around and trying to figure it out the last two days I have found the hatch & the render commands.

If you were working with flat surfaces you might get away with applying a hatch to a face but mouldings are rarely flat. Therefore I suggest you either assign a material (wood grain) to the layer your moulding is on or attach the material to the object itself. You'll need to light the scene before rendering it.

Okay... So I have gone into the view -> render -> light command and have (I think) placed a light source. I've never done this outside of trying it for this use, but when I assign it a name "A" I can then see what appears to be a "sun" type shape with the letter "A" in it so I think I have gotten that far. I also went to view -> render -> Materials command and I selected the wood grain that I wanted from the materials library and Imported it into the list. I tried to attach the wood grain to the profile but had trouble selecting the profile after hitting attach. When I highlighted the wood grain as my material and hit select - then when the box pops back up it says on the bottom: "Wood - Med. ASH is attached explicitly to the object". So I believe I have successfully attached the wood grain. Then I go to view -> render -> render and the box for that pops up. Here I do not know what settings to try. I can get it to change in the render window but from here I can only save it as a BMP and with very limited options for where to save it to. I would really like to be able to save this as a normal Autocad .dwg document. Is that not possible? It still will not change on my normal work screen.

Since you're using such an old version of the program, it's going to be difficult to walk you through the processes and procedures. The Autocad 3D environment has changed so much over the last few years that it is now completely different from what you are using, and I think most of us have forgotten the old ways of doing things. But there are a few guys around here that still use the old versions, (David Bethel is one that springs to mind), so maybe one of them will pop in here with some advice. I have renamed your thread in order to draw attention to the fact that you're using Autocad 2000.

The builtin rendering app in Autocad 2000 was really a weak application. I would not spend a lot of time with it. But if you have to, then the rendering menu has all the tools that you will need. You will need a lot of patience in applying materials and orienting them ( setuv ) in the correct plane. ( see how the middle piece is a cross section ). Accurender ( 2.0 or 3.1 ) was one of the better 3rd party addons that worked easily with autocad. There are a lot of stand alone rendering packages that can deal with dwg or dxf files.

There is a save file option but it only gives me very limited options as to what type of file - and even where I can save it to (I think that may be a result of such an old version?? because it looks like a very old style menu screen that pops up). What I've done in the past with all the 2D profiles is I saved them as a dwg file, which I then opened in Illustrator to make a few minor adjustments (adding the watermark, adding the profile number) & save as jpgs and tiffs that I could transfer online.

Dave - luckily with what I am doing I don't think I will need to spend a lot of time changing the orientation of the wood grain - I am only drawing and creating a small sample (approx. 2.5" of the profile) so that any company wishing to order the profile can see a better sample of what they are getting. I will have to look into accurender if it would make this a more streamlined process, and if it were not too pricy, it may be something my company would rather get to save all the extra time in the long run.

The difference is that where the second website only has maybe 100 profiles total... my company has over 2000 that would have to be changed into the 3D format, that is why I would need to find as easy/fast of a process as possible to get this done.

Version 9.2.11, Build 14291, on Win XP Prof SP2.I am often working with client files which are in an older version of Autrocad, typically 2004. First question is, "How can I set this as the default file save version for when I save using Ctrl-S."Related to this, after I have 'manually' set the file version to 2004 (File Save As) , and it has saved in 2004, the next time I save with Ctrl-S, it reverts back to the 'standard' file version. Once I have saved my file in 2004, I expect subsequent save operations to maintain this file format. Am I under a misconception here ?It's all about making Bricscad a better product !Thanks for any help offered.

Thanks Gerrit. Just what I wanted ! As you have probably guessed, I am a novice at Bricscad, and being used to Microsoft applications, I was looking for something under the "Tools" menu. The "Settings" menu certainly has a lot of options to play with.I agree with your comment about the "Pre 2007" format, but I can live with that. Now, I don't have the embarrassment of sending a file out to a customer which he can't read.Thanks again.

When first set to save as 2004 (in a file saved in a later format) , Bcad does ask that question every time you save until the file is closed and reopened.From then on it saves as 2004 (or whatever the new setting) without fuss, but it's a nuiscance when you have answered the question once and it keeps asking with every save.

I have my templates drawings saved in 2000 format and my save format set to 2000 format to suppress the warning about saving to an older format. This does not help if I open a new format file (until it is saved and opened again of course). Also be aware if you make use of REFEDIT to edit an XREF'd file in place: it will save to 2007 format regardless of the saving format set in preferences.

The conversion tools in ArcToolbox and the DXFARC command in ArcInfo Workstation command line both fail to convert AutoCAD 2000 and later version files into coverages. Cause The DXFARC command in ArcInfo Workstation only supports DXF files through version 14. ArcInfo Workstation will not have further enhancements made to it, so AutoCAD 2000 and later DXF file versions cannot be converted to a coverage format.

I have an old version on AutoCAD (2000) I would like to use to learn the basics of CAD with. I was thinking of putting it on a PC running Linux and was wondering if this is possible and, if so, what pitfalls I might run into. I have read that Wine emulates Windows and would be better for this, however, since the AutoCAD version I have is so old, will this work or is there a better way to do this?

I am a new user to CC and the CNC world. I have a background with drafting and design so I am very familiar with autocad. I have a student version of AutoCAD 2018 on my laptop. I traced a logo in acad using splines and then saved as a autocad2000 era dxf. When I try to import into Create all I get is a blank canvas. What steps am I missing?

I'm about to dive into autolisp and am wondering how to write code that is compatible with as many different versions of autocad as possible, obviously including the current one but also stretching back ideally as far as 2000.

VisualLisp is an extension to the AutoLisp language which allows you to access the object model in the same way as you would if using VBA, just from AutoLisp. If you use built-in functions that starts with vl- or vla- then you're already using VisualLisp.

This doesn't always go to plan however, and you may have to create some version-specific files which you load at the end and which redefine some functions to work with that specific version (you can easily tell which version of AutoCAD the lisp is being loaded into).

I'd disagree with first poster. You want to make sure everything works with brand new versions, then tweak it for older. Most companies who use Autocad and survived the recession did so because they keep up.

By now many of you have upgraded to the latest release of AutoCAD. Since thefirst thing you encounter when opening up a new release is the user interface, itseems natural to begin there. This month, I'm going to take a look at the 2000
Figure 1. Here is an overall view of the AutoCAD 2000 drawing editor.user interface and show you some of the cool new features you might not stumbleover on your own.

Figure 1 shows the standard, out-of-the-box view of the AutoCAD 2000 drawingeditor. I highlighted a couple of the obvious changes right off the bat-the modeland layout tabs in the lower-left hand corner of the screen along with the newlineweights drop-down list off of the object properties toolbar. You'll alsonotice the clearly distinguishable drawing name in the upper left-hand corner ofthe drawing area. Of course the first thing to do is hit the maximize button (theone within the drawing area), which gives you a tad more drawing room. This alsopushes the drawing name to the upper left-hand corner of the drawing editor rightnext to the AutoCAD 2000 program name. I haven't figured out a way to get AutoCAD2000 to default to this setting. Have any of you?
