I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.4.0

I am attempting to open files from the 1990s that are labeled as DRW and I cannot open them.

Here are the errors that I faced
'Filename' Cannot Be Pulled

    I downloaded 4027-1.drw and took a look in a text editor. This is not a ProE file.

    You would be better attaching a .jpg of the error. If you do not attached the model files, no one else will be able to open the drawing file.

     

    What is the error you are getting?  Cannot fine 4027-1.prt or something like that?

      Seems like that might be the issue, the .drw file on it's own is useless. You must have the .prt and .asm files that are associated with the drawing.

        from Hi RJ_5352586,

         

        I confirm Ben's status.

         

        I checked the structure of the file you attached using editor Notepad++ and compared it with a drawing that opens properly without associated models assembly.

        Found that the header UGC information is missing in 4027-1.DRW file.

        End of UGC information is missing  at the end of your file as well.

        See attached screenshots.

        So this file does not come from Creo or Pro/Engineer.

         

        Checking on the net and found that micrographx designer generates .DRW file as well.

        Where did this file comes from exactly?
