Fatal Error Problem

Fatal Error Problem

Fatal Error Problem

(OP)
I am having a problem in Autocad 14 (and in 2000 for that matter) with a particular drawing that I have done that I cannot open due to a fatal error of "Unhandled Access Violation Exception at 418510h."  I had the same problem earlier with this drawing and wound up deleting the drawing and starting over from scratch.  Now the same drawing is having the same problem again.  When I start to open the drawing, I can see the drawing in the preview box, so i know that its not lost.  The opening process keeps getting stuck when regenerating the drawing.  That is when I receive the error.  The error has the option to save changes up to that point, but the alternate drawing that is supposed to be made by saving as a separate drawing gives the same error when opening it.  I hope someone has an idea, because having to redraw an extensive drawing is getting time consuming.  I would appreciate any help.

RE: Fatal Error Problem

Maybe there is a recursive block: a block in the drawing that has the name of the drawing itself?

RE: Fatal Error Problem

Unhandled Access Violation Exception area memory violations that can be caused by a number of things including, but not limited to what tigrek mentioned. For a little mor information, and a possible solution visit

RE: Fatal Error Problem

Try this -  open any other drawing that you have. Use the file drop down menu. Pick "utilities" and pick recover then select the damaged drawing.

RE: Fatal Error Problem

Have you tried File: Drawing Utilities: Recover ?
This often fixes fatal error problems and returns you a workable drawing
I also set automatic backup file for every 10 minutes so if I cant recover, I have a working file to fall back on.
I have learned to do this from painful experience

RE: Fatal Error Problem

Try starting a new drawing and inserting the "error" drawing into it as a block.  Then re-save.
