Corrupt file

[tim_newsome]

I have to make a minor revision to a proposed grading surface. I have not been in the file in months. Now the first thing I am trying to do is add a feature line. Starting the feature line command 4 straight times the file crashes immediately upon entering the elevation at the prompt of the feature line command. I have run an audit and there are no errors in the file.

Is anyone had this kind of issue?

Hi

Try this:

New empty file.
Copy and paste into this file only what you need to create the Fline.
Create the Fline in the new DWG.
Then copy and paste the new Fline into your working DWG.

Did any step of that fail?

You said that you can get it open I amusing you tried to write block it

What happens if you create a polyline first, then create the Feature Line form objects? Will it let you create the feature line? If so can you then edit the elevations through the Panorama?

Try a -purge then start with all, repeat with zero length entities and again with reg apps. I've found zero length feature lines in models causing this behaviour
