Receiving .dat files, not .dwg files.... what gives?
Receiving .dat files, not .dwg files.... what gives?
(OP)
Hello all,
I need to receive the ceiling drawings (.dwg) from one of the casino's here in Las Vegas & I keep getting .dat files.
What is a .dat file & why am I getting this? The engineer @ the casino has sent these attachments to me 4 times! He SWEARS that he is sending me .dwg's....
Please help....
THANKS
TYSON

Have you tried to rename the DAT to DWG and see if it opens?
Just a thought ...

I have been experiencing the same problem myself, when i send files the recipient recieves them as .dat - i'm not sure what the problem is, but, it has something to do with the sender's email settings. Sending the drg's in a zip file won't work either - they will be received as winmail.
The only work around i could find was to get someone else to mail the drawings!
Hope this helps.
