SYMPTOMS
When you try to save a Visio drawing as an AutoCAD Drawing (.dwg), AutoCAD Interchange (.dxf), or Bentley MicroStation Drawing (.dgn), you may receive the following error message:

CAD drawing conversion functionality not included in this edition of Visio 2000



CAUSE
All of the Visio 2000 Editions can import .dwg, .dxf, and .dgn files; however, only Technical Edition and Enterprise Edition can convert these files to Visio drawings on import, or convert individual layers at any time.



RESOLUTION
To be able to export drawings to AutoCAD and Bentley MicroStation compatible file format, you must upgrade to Visio Technical or Enterprise editions.
