Internal error and how to be fixed...

[ovzoc]

Hi there I have a problem... I worked on a scene in Autocad 2006 (3d model). I saved it and it was ok.. Now I am trying to open the file and I get this message.. :

 

INTERNAL ERROR : !saveres.cpp@437: eGeneralModelingFailure

 

Anyone knows what this is? And can it be fixed? Please answer me cause my @$$ is on fire with this one...

 

thanks!

not sure what the error is, but i know the solution.

 

you need to recover the drawing - open a new session of autocad and type 'recover' - then search for the corrupted file.

 

hope that helps......i guarantee that won't be the last autocad drawing that crashes on you.

does your drawing contain alot of xrefs ?

 

i find most obscure errors are caused by xrefs....

OK here is the problem I had with the same error message. I had circular xrefs or blocks. This means that you have and xref inserted with another xref that has that xref referenced also. What you need to do is seperate all the connecting drawings into different folders. Once that is done the drawing can no longer reference it and will be able open. Once it is opened unreference all the drawings. Purge them, audit them, then put them back into the correct folder. Once everything is done you should be able to reference the drawings you need. I hope this helps. I am interested to know if it did. email me back at mgottselig@atcsplc.com and let me know

 

Good luck
