hazardman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 i downloaded the trial version of 2k9, on a win xp machine, with the main interest in trying out this new feature...unfortunately i have yet been successfull in using it as autocad either locks-up durring the export or end up with an "unhandled exeption...eDegenerateGeometry"... just wondering if anybody else is having similar difficulties... i'm also attaching the details of such an exception (and i probably should report this to autodesk for their investigations)...

ReMark Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Tried checking the AutoDe$k Discussion Forums but a search of the AutoCAD 2009 forum using "export layout" yielded no useful results. Haven't tried the AUGI forums yet. No mention of a problem doing a Google search either. Seems like you have encountered a first. You don't think it has anything to do with running XP by any chance versus Vista? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardman Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 You don't think it has anything to do with running XP by any chance versus Vista? probably not...i am able to export from a test drawing i did from scratch but it's no where near as complex as the 2008 drawings i'm trying to export... i was able to insert a plan drawing (that i wblocked from 2008 ) then exported but i haven't tried it with an office title block yet... btw i'm the only one in the office running 2008 as the rest are on lt2006 so perhaps saving as a 2004 format might be giving me some issues... humm, i also noticed that the error message that i thought was attached is missing so i'll try again... eDegenerateGeometry.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daewhakang Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have also tried doing some exportlayout workflow on my Autocad 2011 files. Have you had any luck sorting this out? i downloaded the trial version of 2k9, on a win xp machine, with the main interest in trying out this new feature...unfortunately i have yet been successfull in using it as autocad either locks-up durring the export or end up with an "unhandled exeption...eDegenerateGeometry"... just wondering if anybody else is having similar difficulties... i'm also attaching the details of such an exception (and i probably should report this to autodesk for their investigations)...

Kraut1976 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have had this issue in AutoCAD 2010, 2011 and now in 2012. Small files with hardly anything in Model space work fine. But large files cause AutoCAD to go not responding. I wish Autodesk would get this fixed. The command would be very useful if it actually worked correctly.

ReMark Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I recently tried the EXPORTLAYOUT command and had no problem. Did you purge and audit the drawing file you had the problem with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have used it since AutoCAD 2008 with few problems (those few problems were in the 2008 Autodesk Labs Extension) no matter drawing size. It is more a problem of what is in the drawing than drawing size. Just a hunch, try turning off the InfoCenter (a.k.a. SpyCenter) SEE THIS. Also, what are your computer specs? What graphics card? Latest driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraut1976 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 After binding all external references, purging and auditing, I was able to export. It caused AutoCAD to say that it was not responding for 15 minutes, but it finally exported the layout. I think that it's because the file is so large. (4.35 MB) Thank you for your response!

Kraut1976 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Shutting off the InfoCenter made a huge difference for me! (WSCommCntr3.exe or something like that.) It is now exporting in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
