Well now you know it's a setting and not a glitch in the system.

try this topic  http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=9857.0



this should help those of you sending the drawings there is also another patch for those who get the error when receiving drawings saved down from 2007.I still cant believe Autodesk released 2007 with such a fundemental flaw.Weve already had irate clients complaining about the problem when they receive drawings

Is this behavior occurring in all drawings or just certain ones?

Purge / Audit the drawing?  I have seen this before, and I think and Audit fixed it, but can't remember for sure.

Great, I just looked for acdb17.dll, and there is no such file in all of her C:. Put the new one in her ACAD2002 dir, and restarted AC, went to open the infected file, and I don't know which one it is. She's in a mtg, and I'm in limbo.

Phhht...

Thanks for the quick response time.


Beers for all!

VM's fix is for AutoCAD 2007 (acdb17.dll is said version specific file if I'm not mistaken). The little I pretend to have understood about the problem is that it is caused by AutoCAD 2007 dumbing down the drawing to AutoCAD 2000 format. The fix remedies AutoCAD 2007 <in theory> so that when it downgrades the drawing it doesn't cause a problem for earlier versions of AutoCAD, like 2002. Did that make sense? Sorry?

Edit: fixed pathetic spelling, pathetic grammar remains.

I have seen the same thing with drawings that we receive from one client in particular, but I have never been able to find a solution, so I will be watching this thread with interest.

Started a new drawing, inserted suspect drawing @0,0, xploded, and voila!

All is well.
