    Angry Publish Won't Let Me Select My Page Setup

    So, I have a tool that creates sheetlists and publishes them all to PDF. It has worked perfectly for 6 years, and today I found a problematic file, but I am not sure what the issue is.

    I've nailed it down to a specific file, and it SEEMS as though the icon being shown (please see attached image) is a hint to the issue, but my Googling isn't helping.

    The circled icon is the troublesome file. When I open it, it looks to be exactly the same as the other files in the folder. When I manually tried to publish this folder, I noticed this icon is different, the "3D DWF" box is not available, and if I try to use the dropdown to select the page setup, it appears to let me do it, but you cannot select it.

    I feel like this is a very simple fix, but I don't know what the issue is. Any guidance is appreciated.

    So, I always use AutoCAD 2010 for everything, because the newer versions are so much slower and more bloated. Turns out, this issue does not manifest in AutoCAD 2016, and 2018; honestly never even thought to try.

    So, I still have no idea what the actual problem is, but at least my solution can be, should this be an issue, to use a newer version of AutoCAD, and just deal with the performance hit for those specific packages.

    Thanks!

    It could be a problem with the file. Since you have 2018, try opening it in 2018 and then save back as 2013.
