We have been experiencing several occurrences of both Autocad 2004 and Autocad 2004 LT crashing when the cursor is moved towards the vicinity of certain splines or objects which purport to require a “handler” in our drawings.
We have determined that the problem is not related to hardware or operating software since it is reproducible on all our seats, which use a variety of different versions of Windows and differing hardware: the Windows XP seats have been diligently sending off error reports to Autodesk whenever the problem occurs. Also, Autocad is patched up to the recent service pack on some of the machines, but not all.
Some of the drawings when opening say that an object handler is required for RTEXT and ATEXT, but none can be found on the Autodesk website. Can anybody point us in the direction where we can obtain these handlers?
Most of the drawings have been exported from a PDF file by loading the PDF file in Adobe Illustrator and saving as DWG or DXF format however some drawings have been newly created and only used with Autocad; but the majority have come from Illustrator. Using Illustrator, I’ve tried exploding compound lines and releasing clipping masks to see if that makes a difference but there is none.
Has anybody else experienced problems like this? Also, does anybody know what types or properties of splines might cause similar problems?
Many thanks,
Regards,
James
