AutoCAD and Microstation import errors in Template Editor

If you get an error or warning message during the import operation it could be related to the grouped objects in the file:

  • Unhandled object type: "Unhandled object(s) of type XXXXX."

  • Elliptic arc approximated by circular arc: "Elliptic arc(s) approximated by circular arc."

  • Approximating spline: "Spline object(s) approximated with polyline through controlpoints."

It may help to ungroup the object in the original file with a suitable editor and rearrange the objects.

Tip:

Error messages are saved to the import.log file in the same folder as the tpled.exe application. If you need assistance with resolving file import errors, contact your service representative.
