Cad64 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So I got an amusing error message today while trying to Refedit an xref. The message at the command line read: AcDbZombieEntity objects cannot be edited in place. After doing a little reading, I found out that Zombie Entities are what proxy objects used to be called in R13. I'm not really sure how this relates to the xref I was trying to edit, but I had to laugh when I saw that message. I mean, come on, Zombie Entity. So I opened the xref, ran an Audit and found 903 errors. I deleted hundreds of layer filters and Purged 5 or 6 times to get rid of all the junk in the drawing. Reloaded the xref but still could not Refedit. I ended up just opening the xref and editing directly. Has anyone else ever encountered these Zombie Entities? This was a first for me.

ReMark Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Found this explanation at the discussion forums for AcDbZombieEntity: "That's an ancient (R13) name for a proxy object." Not to be confused with AC/DC which was a zombie-like rock band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thread jack Not to be confused with ACDC which was a zombie-like rock band. I don't know what band you're thinking of but there's nothing zombie-like about the still vibrant Aussie band AC/DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
