Solved Dwg 2017 And Autocad

Solved: Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017 on Remote Desktop Services

I've been struggling to find a solution to this for many months but finally have it working.

DWG (AutoCAD Drawing Database File) DWG files refer to the binary file format for storing 2D and 3D images used by CAD (Computer Aided Design) devices. Originally developed in the 1970’s, it is now used by architects, engineers,.

Problem: Running DWG TrueView 2017 on Windows Server Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Services (RDS/TS) without having to change permissions or give users administrative privileges.

Solution for DGW TrueView 2017: Install once as an Administrator, then create 10 registry entries per user and setup Group Policy to use dwgviewr.exe to open .dwg files.

Get mac os el capitan. Tested on: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2

For TrueView 2018, see Autodesk DWG TrueView 2018 on RDS.

The registry entries (all String values) can be copied from the user profile that was used when installing DWG TrueView 2017. The information below is for the English version of Autodesk DWG TrueView 2017; other language versions may vary the '0001:409' section of the key below.

• HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueView
  • CurVer
• HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskDWG TrueViewR15dwgviewr-0001:409
  • AllUsersFolder
  • AutodeskShared32Folder
  • AutodeskSharedFolder
  • DownloadedProgramFilesFolder
  • GraphicsCacheFolder
  • LocalRootFolder
  • PublicFolder
  • RoamableRootFolder
  • SystemFolder

Important: Three of these need tweaking per user (GraphicsCacheFolder, LocalRootFolder, RoamableRootFolder) to point at the appropriate user profile folder.

When each user opens a .dwg file for the first time (or runs DWG TrueView directly) then the Autodesk installer will run and populate all other missing entries automatically (without trying to elevate).

I did find that not setting GraphicsCacheFolder still allowed DWG TrueView to work but the installer does not recreate this registry value.

Comment on This Article:

While you’re editing a file, all of a sudden AutoCad closes and displays the message: Reading 0x0000 Exception at f50cd74eh on startup of Plant 3d 2013.

The highlighted part (in bold) might be different on your machine, but the problema (and the solution) is the same.

To solve this problem is simple, just follow the steps bellow:

• Close Autocad (if it’s open);
• Open Windows Explorer;
• Browse to: c:Users<your username>AppDataLocalAutodeskAutoCAD Plant 3d 2013 – EnglishR19.0enuGraphicsCache;
• Make a backup of the files in that folder. (Never needed it, but just in case);
• Delete the files of that folder;

You can now re-open AutoCad and check if the problem was solved.

Are the folder names in you computer different?

If there’s no folder “AutoCAD Plant 3D 2013”, don’t worry. You probably have some other folder with a similar name, like “AutoCad 2013/2014/2015/2016” or something like that. You want the folder with the name corresponding to the Autocad version that’s presenting the problem.

Same goes to the folder “R19.0”. That folder refers to the version you have installed. So, if you have a different version (or edition) this might be different, but that’s not a problem.

To my understanding, this folder number is a reference to the .DWG file encoding.

I’ve tried this procedure and it worked on AutoCADs version 2013 and 2016.

Hope that helped.
