AutoCAD 2004 file

[Paramveer]

Is there a way to convert a file of AutoCAD 2004 into AutoCAD 2002 format, without having AutoCAD 2004?

I don't know that there is a way...but I would be happy to convert it for you if you send me the file, just an idea.

I don't think you can convert 2004 AutoCad file using a 2002 AutoCad. On the other hands, AutoCad 2004 can convert 2002 without any problem but not vice versa.

If you run into this problem again, be sure to tell the person who is using AutoCad 2004 to "SAVE AS AutoCad 2002 version" when he/she is finished drafting. This way, you don't have to face this problem again.

As of now, the only solution, is to send it to someone who has AutoCad 2004 as mentioned by Hoja so he/she can convert it for you.

You could download the batch converter from Autodesk, which is free as far as I can tell. Appears to convert to/from versions 14 through 2004.

Oops.....ignore that last post. After reading the Q&A I see you have to have AuoCAD 2004 on your machine to use the batch converter.

You can download an Autocad viewer, for exemple

I guess it will save you autocad 2004 file in 2000 format too.
