Hi, I've been having this same problem as well since upgrading to ArcGIS 10 in September 2011. I'm at a large educational institution, and the export works pretty much everywhere on campus except for the lab where I regularly help architecture students export vectors to CAD. Different areas of campus do have computing IT administered in different ways. Previous to the ArcGIS 10 upgrade, I never had problems exporting to .dwg unless the input files were just too large for it to handle. I had a breakthrough today, though! It seems that the location of the input or output file has something to do with it. A shapefile in a folder on my desktop was input, output to a .dwg on the desktop, and I had exactly what you describe -- an empty, very small (8k) .dwg file. I moved that same folder to a networked fileserver, and exported it to the same dwg2010 default format, but also to the networked fileserver folder, and it worked perfectly. I'll post as I figure out more about this. In the past, I tried using the other, older .dwg filetypes, and that made no difference. .dxf has worked fine for us, but the files are typically much bigger in .dxf than they would be if the .dwg was working. This is the first time I've seen evidence that this is happening to others. I do plan on filing a bug report soon. Thanks, Nicole Scholtz Spatial and Numeric Data Librarian

That did it! Thank you, Alan. Nicole

Hi Jay, Yes, I've copied both the streets.rsx and the streets.idx folders. The files I copy also are streets.idi, .rs, .sdc .sdc.prj, .sdc.xml, and .sdi . Thanks.

I am trying to use the streets network dataset included with the 9.3 data disks. I have one copy sitting on a server that works beautifully, and I can load it into a map and run closest facility analysis with no problem. When I try to move the network dataset to a local disk, and then add the new copy to my map, it does not work. I have tried copying it within ArcCatalog. I've copied it from Windows Explorer with all hidden files turned on so I am sure I'm getting everything called streets.* , including the SDC vector layer (which I'm not sure is necessary). I've tried downloading and unpacking a fresh copy from a zip file of the DVD on which it came that I have stored. I've moved the network dataset to a location on the local drive with no spaces in the name. When I try to add the network dataset to ArcMap I get a box that says "Open Failed" and "Error opening network dataset". Any ideas on how to make this work? When this file has worked, it has been great -- it includes multiple costs that I certainly can't produce as quickly and easily if I rebuild the network dataset from scratch from the streets.sdc layer. Thanks in advance. Nicole Spatial and Numeric Data Librarian University of Michigan
