This is the fix:
Started a new drawing, inserted suspect drawing @0,0, xploded, and voila!

All is well.

This is the fix:
Well, that may have worked for that drawing, but what about a drawing that has more than just things in ModelSpace?

Using Insert only brings in Modelspace.....Using the TrueConvert tool you can save the file as a  2007 file then resave as a 2000 format file and it should also fix the problem, but leave any Paperspace items/tabs intact.

For the next time.....:-)

I apologize for not being thorough. Been doing the Headless Chicken Dance here alot. We only have 2002, so thats (unfortunately) not an option. We intercepted this file from one of our clients, so we would have to send it back and show the client how to do this, or redraw the Pspace objects.

Yes, it is, an option. You do not have to have ANY version of AutoCad installed to use TrueConvert.....it is a standalone program.

Check it out!

If its not a free app, then I don't think it would be an option. MIS has my dept handicapped, bound gagged, and hogtied. Getting an application with such a limited use would never get through.

That's nothin'

I had one that when I opened it a voice came out saying "Yeah the coffee tastes like carp but you need it".

I think it might have had a virus embedded because now I hear it every morning.  :|

Mav,

That's one of the new voices in your head.

As for the items in paperspace? If and only if you've taken the pains to rename each tab, you can use design center to drag and drop each tab from the corrupt file into the new one and voila, your drawing is back in business
