Received some drawing files from a client today that opened up fine. I copied some layers into my drawing (I'll call it Drawing A); still fine.

 

Drawing A is Xref'd into Drawing B; tried to open Drawing B and everything crashed.

 

Did a Purge and Audit on both Drawings; made no difference.

 

Tried to Copy/Paste Drawing A material into a New file; system crashed again

 

Each Drawing opens fine by itself (with the Xref disabled) but I simply cannot get the A data into the B drawing.

 

Its only this file, not a global problem; clearly something is corrupt but I don't know how to go about diagnosing the problem so any helpful hints would be appreciated...

WBlock out everything in Drawing A to a new file and try working with that.

I have had similar problems before and have found that exporting Drawing A as a DXF and then opening the DXF and saving over the original corrects / identifies any errors.
