SYMPTOMS
You open a CAD drawing (.dwg) file that contains three-dimensional (3-D) images in Microsoft Visio and then convert the CAD drawing to Visio format by saving it as a .vsd file. When you do this, you may receive the following warning message:

The file was opened but some problems were encountered. Details of the problems were added to the log file.

When you click OK on the message, the conversion finishes. However, the 3-D images are missing from the converted drawing.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The CAD drawing is saved in paper space.
 * The CAD drawing contains 3-D images that cannot be converted to Visio format.

In this situation, when you convert the CAD drawing to Visio format, the converted Visio drawing may not include all layers. Therefore, the 3-D images are missing from the drawing.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



MORE INFORMATION
Paper space is a workspace that is similar to a sheet of paper, where CAD drafters can arrange different views of the drawing. When you convert a drawing that is saved in paper space, only the objects that are not cut off (clipped) by the edge of the viewport are converted to Visio shapes. Objects and text that are clipped are converted to lines.

For more information about working with CAD drawings in Visio, see the Visio Help files.
