Description: The CAD Entity is not supported by the Visio CAD Conv

[Matt Carter]

Errors converting a DWX file into Visio 2007. I am not sure how to AVOID
this? I tried to delete or UNselect the layers to make it work, I did NOT
select to show the 3d layers and tried to delete them however it would not
let me.
This is the log file when I try to import. It then goes on and on and on
trying to convert.

I found that after I accepted the error messae that gave me the log that I
have in the previous question, I got Microsoft Office Visio - Visio is unable
to open the XML file. It does not contain valid XML. File: clip-board
Line, Column: 3923205, 26 Error: Illegal qualified name character.
Also same error, another time I tried it:
Line, Column: 2337848, 15 Error: Whitespace expected.

When I click OK, it takes me to the VISIO document, however it is still a
CAD document, and not converted over as I asked to go into lines and such.

Hi Matt,

Generally this is a sign that the CAD file you are attempting to convert is
too large for Visio to handle. Turning off layers is one way to reduce the
amount of conversion required, but it may be that there is too much on a
given layer to convert.
