Thanks for reply. But I can open the same dwg file with creo 8.0, which is interesting.
Successful opening in Creo 8.0 is actually good news: you have a working environment.
If we stick to the meaning of the error message, the application RealDWG needs to be installed. But can confirm that Creo 8, Creo 9 and RealDWG are installed on the same workstation?
realdwg is not installed on my pc. I have searched on the internet but I coul not find any installation package.
Where can I download?
Right.
After googling REALdwg, there is information telling it is an Autocad product.
Can you reach out to your Cad or organization administrator? Or some colleagues that kept the install CD?

<Common Files>\applications\REALDWG\pro_dwgconv.exe
<Common Files>\x86e_win64\obj\pro_dwgconv.exe
