    Default Fatal Error When trying to open this Acad Drawing.

    Can anyone else open this drawing? Ive run recovery on it and it doesn't seem to find anything wrong in it. when i try to open it I get a fatal exception error and My Autocad crashes(tried both ADT 2005 and ADT 2006 and ACAD 2006),. Using the free .Dwg viewer from Solid works I can look at it fine. (just cant print it) so I'm wondering if its my AutoCAD or the drawing itself. I'm wondering if Simone out there runs Microstation or another program that can read .DWG's and can open it in that. Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone wants to try. please let me know as Ill have to email you the drawing, It's too large to be posted here.

    After doing a recover, purge and save (save anyway even if no errors found, etc). See if it behaves any better afte then closing the newly saved version then reopening it.

    Also, I remember a file "crashing" on plotting when I attempted to select .... can't remember the details, a plotter, or pen settings or what. I think that I just selected something else and/or plotted to file to get out of this. Then saved.

    Try inserting the problem drawing into a new drawing as a wblock.
