Hi All, I'm using 2010 and am having problems opening a file from the Sheet Metal contractor who uses 2010 MEP for a job. I'm responsible for creating composite drawings of all trades combined which means xreffing in Sprinkler, Duct, Electrical, etc. Other users in my office can open this file no problem but when I try to open the original, it locks up at %99 and doesn't even offer a recover save option. I have to get one of the other coordinators in my office to open the file, burst everything once, explode everything once, and save as 2007. Then I can open the file but....and this is strange...I can see the ductwork but as soon as I try to pan, zoom, or anything else....again it locks me up. Even stranger is if I XREF the drawing into my main drawing, it gives me no problems unless I try to open the file to edit the XREF. Once XREFed in, I don't lock up anymore. I've got the latest Object Enablers for 2010 32 bit Arch and MEP loaded. What could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.
