Drawings that we have contain error
Drawings that we have contain error
(OP)
Drawings that we have contain errors (recieved from on CD rom from contractor), we have recovered the drawings, audited the drawings, purged the drawings and have saved changes. However, every time we open the drawings AutoCAD 2002 detects errors and asks "do we want to cancel opening", which we have to say no to just to open the drawings. Does anyone know of any remedies/suggestions? Thanks

do you have "Volo View" or "Volo View Express"? Maybe you can open the *.dwg with VV and save as *.dxf. Then open the *.dxf with ACAD.
Good luck..., Lothar

If you open the file with errors, does it open? OR does it KICK you out of AutoCAD 2002?
If it does open in AutoCAD 2002 and you're worried about the errors ... try saving the file to an earlier version like AutoCAD release 12.
If saving the file or working with the DWG file ... IS NOT AN ISSUE, ... THEN I would try a FREE viewer from Autodesk like "EXIT" suggested.
Hope that helps

This will blow away some of the header information associated with the drawing and seems to fix most problems.
