DWGEditor corrupts AutoCAD files?
DWGEditor corrupts AutoCAD files?
(OP)
I've edited DWG file in DWGEditor and unfortunately saved it. Now that file cannot be opened by AutoCAD anymore, only by DWGEditor. AutoCAD gives "unhandled error" and crashes.
Anyone have any experience with something like that?

Do you have backups of your ACAD files?

It is not big deal to recreate the drawing (getting it from backup tape will take longer). But I've learned the lesson- DWGEditor is bad.

Have you tried it on other files with the same result?Since Chris is able to do it, it would seem to be either the ACAD version issue or a random SWX bug that should be reported to SWX. My money would be on the former.

File crashed in AutoCAD 2004 Mechanical but opens without problems in regular Autocad 2004.
Thank you.
RE: DWGEditor corrupts AutoCAD files?
Try opening in plain AutoCAD 2004, making sure to leave proxy objects displayed. It will be something that you can move or delete in plain 2004 but not edit. If it is a fastener, BOM balloon, or similar small block, it may be just as effective to delete it and replace it.
