Suppress connection on opening dwg

[Ed Jobe]

Is it possible to suppress the dwg from making a data connection when you open the dwg? I have a file that is hanging and won't finish loading. I'm thinking that if I can suppress the connection, I can modify it to fix the problem.

Ed, I'm unsure if this thread (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:liS4-5_5_r8J:forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-Map-3D-Developer/Disable-quot-Save-password-quot-in-quot-Connect-to-data-quot/td-p/2793160+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a) will be of help to you or not... I was thinking that while the data connection you have may not be layer related, that perhaps some sort of similar concept may be applicable.

Good luck!

No, that doesn't help. I need to be able to open the dwg. Right now, it won't even open.

I tried it anyway, but it didn't help. Map still tries to open the data connection.

Cut and paste the data from its location to your desktop. open dwg, sort it out, then cut and paste data back to its proper place.

Open it with TruView, save as new dwg, then try opening in Map3D.
What type of data connection is it? MySQL, shp, ODBC ?
