Hi,
I have an ACAD model (.DWG) that has been corrupted since I last saved. I am unable to open this model.
I have run a RECOVER on the DWG to enable me to open the model, but that appears to damaged the ProSteel logic. Now when I attempt to re-open the DWG (after saving after the RECOVER) - it seems it is trying to re-reference each shape profile within the model, and is taking a very long time to open.
Occasionally (while opening the DWG) I will be presented with a dialogue box asking me to select an 'illegal' shape profile.
My questions are:
1. Why is it that some shapes are automatically resolved (success) but some are not (failed)?
2. What can I do to enable more shapes to be automatically resolved (something in the shape database?)?
3. How can I avoid this hassle in the future? Sometimes a RECOVER is the only way to restore a corrupt DWG, will it always result in this loss of reference?
Thanks for any help.
Hello,
I see this question has already been answered, but I ran into a really similar issue creating cells within ProStructures and placing them in a different ProStructures model. I was able to resolve the illegal shape error by copy/pasting the shapes with errors into the drawing manually, then placing my cells. If you're still getting this error, that could be a quicker work around potentially.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the tip Curtis!
