ACAD 2009 CRASH

[jeff.garr]

I have recently been updated to 2009. We have one facility drawing that is causing headaches. I open the drawing, can modify it, save, close, re-open, edit, etc.- however if I go to plot it, AutoCAD completely shuts down. No error message or anything.
I would assume there is some type of corruption to the file, however we have a few seats of ACAD 2007 as well and I can open this drawing, edit, save, etc. INCLUDING PLOT!! There are no issues when using 2007?!?! Any thought out there on this..... or has anyone run into the same problem yet??

Have you tried using ._RECOVER instead of ._OPEN to open this drawing in 2009?

[jeff.garr]

Just tried that. Nice thought, but it didn't work. Recover did not find any errors in the drawing.

[rkmcswain]

Can you post the drawing so someone else can try it in 2009?

I tried to upload a ZIP file and received the following error:

"vBulletin Message
Invalid Post specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator "

I will try and contact the administrator and go from there. There should be no issue- the file is within the requirements listed.

I will try and contact the administrator and go from there.

Good luck with that. If you want, you can email me the file and I will try.

Thanks RK. I have not heard anything from the administrator- no surprise.
Can I get your e-mail to send this to you. The ZIP file is about 9MB.

I am currently trying to send the file to you, though it is not going through. I am supposed to have a send/receive capacity of 20MB. I received: "This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full." I am currently verifying this with our IT group and should hear back shortly from them.
