  1. AutoCAD license not found
    1. Contact person with AutoCAD admin privileges
      • These people include
        • Mike
        • Maddie
        • Lindsay
        • Marissa
  2. The DWG file was saved by an application other than an AutoDesk program
    1. Select “Continue opening DWG file”
      • You can also check “Always open DWG files regardless of origin”
    2. Double check file after opening to ensure nothing is askew
  3. This drawing has unsupported objects
    1. There are some different options here
      • “Show objects when available”
        • This will put a bounding box in place of the object until it is found
      • “Show bounding box for unsupported objects”
        • This will put a bounding box in place of the object
      • “Do not show unsupported objects”
        • No bounding box will be in place of the object”
    2. Typically it is easier to select “Do not show unsupported objects”
    3. If there is something you think might be missing, try one of the other options and look through the file for anything that might have been deleted from the file
  4. Units appearing as decimals
    1. Type “Units” into the Command Bar
    2. Under “Length” change the type to “Architectural”
      • You can also edit the precision (best if left at 0′-0 1/16″ or 0′-0 1/32″)
    3. Check the “Ok” button
  5. FUTURE ISSUES
