Can anyone open this drawing??


Recommended Posts

OK I tried to attach a drawing that won't open for me. It says it is an invalid file? I have brought the file into work with me from my laptop at home where it was opening fine, but it won't open on my work computer yet both versions of CAD are the same.

 

The file is 1.05mb and the upload capacity is 1mb on this site so I can't upload it.

 

If anyone is willing to try to open it for me and send it back please let me know and i'll email it over to them.

 

Thanks

Have you tried open it with Repair (meant recover..doh!) instead?

Seems that isn't a version compatibility issue. Have you tried to open it using the RECOVER command?

Yes, i've tried recover, it says it is unable to recover the file.

So, chances are that was damaged during transfer – luckily you have a copy of it. If that is damaged too, try to recuperate the BAK file or an auto-save version.

On your laptop switch on all the layers in the drawing that you can open, run an audit and purge and then WBLOCK all the entities in the drawing into a new drawing. Alternatively try saving the file as a DXF file and then open the DXFfile at work.
