DWG issue -Impossible to work

[chiquito]

Hi, Im having an issue with a file I have recieved, it was created with 2000, I can open it, but as soon as I start working on it, my autocad (2006) freezes, I couldnt find a solution to it yet, tryied, purging, auditing, renaming, importing, xref, exporting as 2000, resaving, copypasting, etc. I run out of tricks. Im redrawing all of it now.

Any hint? anyone ever experience the same?

any help greatlly apreciated.

Kind regards to all,

martin

open it with "recover" it and save it with another name... That should do it

I tried that already, unfortunately no luck there.

Thanks for the quick response

Copy all enitities and paste in a new file and try with that, many time it works

Hi, justing throwing this out there -

*export to dxf /save as dxf

*import and then export from any of your other packages i.e. max/sketchup/illustrator etc.

 

and as the ultimate last gasp - print to pdf (presuming you are able to get to the print menu) - open in illustrator and export to dwg

This last two, I haven't tried.

lets see how it goes....

Many of the OpenDWG based CAD programs can recover DWG files that AutoCAD can't. You can, for example, download a free version of ProgeCAD, and see if it'll work. Evan
