Symptom
- Missing data while viewing DWG drawing document in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer.
- The DWG files are accurately displayed in AutoCAD, but in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer, some parts of the drawing are missing.
Environment
SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer 9.0
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the DWG file in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer.
- Compare the displayed file with the same file opened in AutoCAD or AutoCAD Viewer.
Cause
This issue can arise when the DWG file is using External Referenced DWG files (XRef's).
Resolution
If XRef's are being used within the main DWG file you may need to check the folder locations of the XRef's are accessible to SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer and/or if copying the main DWG file that the XRef's are also copied/delivered. Another option is to 'Bind' the XRef's to the main DWG file to make one complete DWG.
