Interesting, but I must admit I don't quite understand.
(DWG2013 yielded same.)
Error cases:
2: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
4: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
8: Euro symbols are identical.
15: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
17: Same as frames opened in TrueView.
20: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView (but plotted output doesn't display circle).
24: It is identical to same frames opened in TrueView.
27: Same as frames opened in TrueView (red values are different)..uploads/413522/budweiser2013_Layout1.pdf

Your budweiser test drawings could stand to be cleaned up a bit before you make them available to your clients or the public in general.  I recommend running Overkill, -Purge (regapps), -Purge (all) then Audit.  Maybe that will eliminate some of the problems.  As a last resort do an EXPORTTOAUTOCAD.  That's my last word on the subject.

So the supplied benchmark results (even from a 7 years old version DWG2010, not from the latest) show at least 9 errors (from 28 tests), just in the modelspace. This 68% reliability is not bad (there are worse examples of AutoCAD lookalikes) but it is far from the expected 100% DWG compatibility. As said before, there are situations where none of these potential problems will occur or when some differences will not be that much a problem - but you can never be sure...

Ah, but you said to open the budweiser drawing and since you specifically have versions saved to different AutoCAD file formats I picked one that was compatible.  Are you moving the finish line after I have completed the race?  It doesn't matter.  You asked me to provide an image of the drawing opened in Draftsight and I did.  I completed the task.  Case closed.

Upload sized up (can be also sent via cloud storage).
 
The latest version of BUDWEISER.DWG is in the DWG2013 format.

Try again with a "smaller" image.

By the way, I ran AUDIT on your drawing; it had errors in it.

The budweiser drawing opened in Draftsight.

This is so ridiculous.  The image size limitation is 150KB.  The image file size I want to upload is 182KB.  So I guess I'm not going to be able to show you the whole image.

Alarmist or not - everyone have to make its own experience. But it is not about claims and feelings - can you send me a PDF or other hi-res output of the latest Budweiser benchmark DWG opened in Draftsight?]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:20:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12199&PID=34264&title=software-recommendation#34264
