atrickofthemind Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi all, I am having issues with what I believe could be a corrupted page setup file. I have gone to the page setup manager to try and delete and re-create, but ANY interaction with the page setup in question causes CAD to immediately lock up and crash (even a right click, somehow). Does anyone know the folder location of these files so that i can go in and manually get rid of one? Thanks Edit: I am using a windows 7 machine.

TheCADnoob Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 is it just this file? Have you tried running an audit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not sure there is a folder. They are stored in the drawing file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Do you have all of the service packs hotfixes, and updates for AutoCAD 2013 installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Are you saying that you can get to this screen, but if you select the page setup and click Modify, that is when it crashes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This lisp is supposed to delete those for you. Page setups are kept in the drawing. ;;; save this file to a folder on your C:\ drive, name it PAGESETUP.LSP or any name you want ;;; use the AppLoad command, navigate to this file so it will load each time ;;; type DELETEALLPS to delete all page setups in the drawing or set up a button ;;; type PAGESETUP_IMPORT to import all page setups in the drawing or set up a button ;;; ;;;Dave Jones ;;;Member of the Autodesk Discussion Forum Moderator Program ;Command: (deleteAllPS) ;or ;Command: (deletePS "PageSetupName") (defun c:DELETEALLPS () (vl-load-com) (vlax-for ps (vla-get-plotconfigurations (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (vla-delete ps) ) ) (defun deletePS (name) (vl-load-com) (vlax-for ps (vla-get-plotconfigurations (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (if (= (strcase (vla-get-name ps)) (strcase name)) (vla-delete ps) ) ) ) ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;import page setups - not sure of the original source for this code below (defun C:PAGESETUP_IMPORT (/ exprt) (setq exprt (getvar "EXPERT")) (setvar "EXPERT" 2) ;;******* ;;;CUSTOMIZE THE LINE BELOW THIS ONE FOR YOUR PATH AND DRAWING OR TEMPLATE WITH YOUR PAGESETUPS, see below (command "._-PSETUPIN" "C:\\YOURPAGESETUPS.dwg" "*") ;change the name and path to your dwt file, etc (setvar "expert" exprt) ) ;your pagesetup path will resemble the one below, type that in the line above for YOURPAGESETUPS.DWG ;"C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD Mechanical 2015\\R20.0\\enu\Template\\template.dwt" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
