(OP)
Ok,


This is not turning out to be a good morning.  I have a file that I started from stratch yesterday.  I created it from copy and pasting a bunch of primitive solids from V4 into V5 and then rebuilding the part from there.  I can't just do a "Paste Special" because of some split surfaces that are no longer tangent.  

Anyhow I can't open it this morning!!!  I get an "Incident Report." Saying under the description "Invalid naming data.  Document cannot be read."

Any Ideas how to open this file up, or is lost???

Hi,

CATDUA may help you. But first make a copy of your file. Go to the Tools -> Utilities and doubleclick on CATDUA. Select the copy of your file an try to clean it.
Maybe it works... maybe not...

Good luck
