Hi,

I can read this DWG file (from a client) into IntelliCAD 6.1 PE+, but not 6.2 PE+.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

chrisd,

I could not open the drawing in 6.2.

I also tried to recover the drawing in 6.2 and that failed also.

When I opened it in 6.1 I audited the drawing fixing any errors and the report has 392 XData errors.

It looks like 6.2 is more sensitive to AcDbText XData errors and the recover should have worked.

This drawing was created and controlled by a program within AutoCAD, maybe LandCAD or something similar.

John,

Thanks for looking at this. I probably should submit this as a bug.
