Drawing failing to load

**anhanguera** · 14th Oct 2010 10:03 am

I am failing to open a drawing which works all other station in office I've tried clean up scales, recover even DWG TrueView to convert that drawing into 2000 and 2004 files but nothing changed. every time when drawing loading status reaches %81 loading stops and not responding then a screen to send trouble report to AutoDesk that's all, no error message, no etc...

Maybe it's the system itself. A bad hard drive sector?

Do you have a flash drive available? I have an experiment in mind.

yes i have

Since the drawing is known to work on other stations place a copy on a flash drive. Install the flash drive on your computer. Open AutoCAD and then open the copy of the file that is on the flash drive itself. What happens?

Note: The flash drive should have a fair amount of free space available so AutoCAD can write temporary files to it. If it is near capacity this won't work.

good idea but i've tried it too. in fact the project came on a flash drive. funny it is working where it came from on that same drive but not here. I am suspecting of virus but still couldn't find

Why do you suspect a virus?

Are you having a problem with opening any other drawings on your computer or is it just this one?

i've tired every way i know but failed only a virus could be that tough i guess. things like this happen time to time but i always figure a way out but not with this

Let's be clear. You think the drawing file is infected or your computer?

**anhanguera** · 14th Oct 2010 01:16 pm

i am absuletely sure my computer is infected norton finds too many of them all the time and i am not sure about drawing i didn't scanned it but i will now.... i scanned and no virus

I was pretty sure your drawing wasn't infected but I had to ask. If it were you would be reporting problems of a totally different nature.

Have you done a full system scan? I'm not talking a quick scan.

When was the last time you defragged the hard drive?

You did not answer my previous question re: having problems with other dwg files. This file is the ONLY one you are having a problem with? Yes/No?

Are you experiencing problems in other programs opening files such as doc, xls, mdb, etc?
