Cad64 Posted March 26, 2009 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. Quote
Tiger Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 AutoCAD has zombies? No wonder things go hay-wire once inna while! BUt sorry Cad64, never seen it before - I just get the normal boring error message with ProxyEntities.. Quote
ReMark Posted March 26, 2009 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
lpseifert Posted March 26, 2009 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
