CAD Details not Downloading

AndyDarragh | Posted in General Questions on

I am a GBA Prime member and I have not been able to download any of the CAD Details.  I just get computer code when I click the download button. Should I have access to them or do I need to be a GBA Pro member (honestly I don’t know the difference, if there is one).  The PDF files work fine.  Here is a specific example of one that didn’t download:  https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/cad/detail/wall-section-wood-lap-siding-3-4-rigid-insulation

Thanks,

    Andy, I get the same error code. I don't think I've ever been able to download DWG files here, in fact.

    Andy, did you get any answer from GBA on your question? I too have the same issue. I tried downloading from a different browser, same problem. Tried right-clicking and saving link, which then allows me to download the .dwg file, but then i get an error message when I try to open it in AutoCAD LT latest version.

    Some of the files are mislabeled, for example a few .dwg are actually PDF files.

    I've had no problem opening details in Sketchup (same right click save link). Maybe share the link to the detail you are trying to open and I can see if it works for me.
