Unable to open Autocad drawing

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have created a document in CV01N using doc type as DW1.

I have attached the autocad drawing to the document. But while opeing the document in cv04n I am getting the following error.

1. System message " The system is trying to replace the file C:\Temp\_40012323 Do you want to allow this" I have selected always allow.

2. System message " The system is trying to execute the program Autocad with the comand linee C:\Temp\_40012323 Do you want to grant permission to execute the program". I have selected always allow.

3.Error message "Windows cannot find Autocad. make sure you typed the name correctly, And then try again.

The user had already installed Autocad. Cna you please suggest me any solution for this

Hi Smruti,

Could you share your 'Define Workstation Application' and 'Define Workstation Application in Network' settings maintained in DC30 transaction for your AutoCAD application?

Hi Smruti,

Do you have Autocad viewer installed ? If no, then you can install the same and check.

Hi pradeep I think you are right in DC30 for "Path with prog. name" only Autocad is maintained. I think i may need to maintain %AUTO% for the same field. Am I correct?

Yes,for 'Path with program name',if you have AutoCAD viewer installed, maintain value as %auto% else if you have SAP ECL viewer installed, maintain value as EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL% and re-test the scenario and share the findings.

NOTE:You may use either of the above viewers indicated to view the checked-in AutoCAD file.
