Issue:

When converting a point cloud file in ZWCAD, the error message Data conversion failed! appears. 

What causes this issue, and how to convert the point cloud file?

Causes:

By default, converted point cloud files are stored on the C drive. Possible causes include:

  1. The disk has run out of space
  2. Insufficient write permissions for the current Windows user
  3. Special characters in the point cloud conversion path
  4. An older version of ZWCAD (e.g., ZWCAD 2024)

Solution:

  1. Check the cache path for special characters.
    The path can be found under Options → File → Point Cloud Cache File Location.
  2. Ensure sufficient disk space on the drive where the cache is stored.
  3. Verify write permissions for the current user at the cache location.
    Right-click on the folder and click on Properties → Security. Ensure that all the permissions listed are set to Allow.
  4. Update to the latest version of ZWCAD and retry the import.

Workaround: If conversion fails repeatedly, copy the RCS file from another device where conversion succeeded into the Point Cloud Cache File Location folder, then import it directly into ZWCAD.
