Note: If you try to export DWG file without AutoCAD installation then you get a warning message. It is normal. In SAP2000, we use ActiveX late binding and try to create AutoCAD objects. If we are not able to create them then its mean AutoCAD is not installed. But this is only done for AutoCAD DWG import/export, import from DXF and export to DXF does not require AutoCAD to be installed.
