File Recovery Options

[rmonigle]

Hey all,
We have been experiencing a growing number of problems with drawings being corrupted beyond our efforts to recover them. The problem drawings will not allow themselves to be recovered, audited...nothing. We have also tried the trick of inserting the drawing as a block into another drawing to clean it up.

Does anyone have any ideas or alternatives to recover an "unrecoverable drawing". I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

Try sending me one, to see if
passing it through another version
of ACAD will help it out.
Then if that does work, you might need
to look into that as an option.

I'm not sure if LT supports partial open,
if so try that and open a few layes at a time and
block them out into a new drawing.
