I am using Autocad 2009 with Cadworx 2012 64 bit version. I am trying export a file to Caesar 5.3 version. When I click on the .CAESAR II to import to Caesar it turns the ".c 2" file into 2 files one called "control" the second has a ._A extension. I have no problem exporting from Cadworx 2010 with Autocas 2009. Any Ideas what the problem is?

Hi Mark:

Please make sure that the CAESARVersion directive in the CADWorx configuration file is set to 2011 (for CAESAR II 5.30), this is found under the SETUP command > Edit Config File...

Once the above is confirmed, are you unable to open the resulting CAESAR II file in CAESAR II? When opening a CAESAR II file, it will extract into its relevant input/output/etc. files. The _A file is the input file associated with the CAESAR II model. This is normal behavior.

If you are encountering specific issues, please submit a service request on eCustomer where the originating CADWorx model files can be uploaded for our review.
