Hi. I wonder if anyone can help with my following dilemna;
I was working on a drawing this morning. I sent it to the plotter and then closed out of the drawing.
While the drawing was plotting I opted to change the file name as I was "cleaning up" the project folder and wanted more succint drawing names. Shortly after I went to open the drawing to make some additional changes and the following error message appeared;
"FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0xffffffff Exception at 1c893229h".
I tried rebooting the computer, recovering the drawing, and inserting/exploding the drawing in a new drawing. All of these actions failed.
I am working on AutoCAD 2000. Does anyone have advice? Thank you.

Try searching for the .BAK file and renaming it to .dwg. Try searching your
automatic save folder for the recent automatic save and renaming it .dwg.

Here is my advice: you can call it work around of AutoCAD dummy recovery
engine. You cannot find this method in any official/none-official
publications. This is my discovery.



So,

1. Start recovering a drawing with AutoCAD RECOVER command.



2. Hit the "Esc" key unless you cancel the recovery from the moment WHEN it
reaches the point of LOADING xrefs. Start and try few times if you miss that
point.



AutoCAD editor will open the recovering drawing but some 3rd party
applications may not be loaded in that drawing session. That's OK care about
drawing entities at this moment. Your drawing may look weird on some cases;
zoom extend it DO NOT REGENALL, you may loose it again. On some cases
REGENALL works on some cases not, depend what was the problem in the
drawing. If try REGENALL and crash your drawing again start "recovering"
again and zoom-extend the opened drawing only.



From this point you have to use you knowledge of recovering, redrawing
entire drawing database manually, programmatically.



If you don't have such a program or that match experience in AutoCAD
programming you can simply wblock the entire drawing BY WINDOWING object
from model and from layouts and re-create your "lost" drawing. Remember
window from left to right only.



Thanks,



P.S. It worked from AutoCAD14 version. I've tested this method in AutoCAD
2005 and it worked here too.



P.P.S. There are some online-companies who charge up to $150-$200 per
drawing for this way of recovering.
