AutoCAD, Viruses, and Security

-
        Issue: You want to know about what kind of viruses can affect AutoCAD® and how to avoid them. Solution: The two main types of viruses that can affect AutoCAD are VBA macros embedded in drawing files and AutoLISP that runs automatically when a drawing is opened. VBA Macro Viruses +AutoCAD  installations have included VBA since AutoCAD 2000, making it possible to embed VBA projects into drawing files. Once it is part of a drawing, a macro can become active when the drawing is loaded. If that drawing is shared with others, the macro has the potential to affect any computer on which it is active. VBA macros are capable of manipulating your drawing data, accessing your hard drive and registry, and even calling Windows API methods. AutoLISP-based Viruses An AutoLISP-based virus typically occurs via an AutoLISP file that runs automatically when a drawing is opened. Such startup AutoLISP files include:   acad doc.lsp ...

AutoCAD File Corruption

-
  AutoCAD File Corruption Issue: Your drawing file (DWG) has become corrupt, and performance is slower and less stable over time. File size may also increase, causing unexpected behavior and file or program crashes. Solution: Please follow this procedure to eliminate further problems from corruption within your file.  Additionally this process can be utilized in file migration from previous platforms to ensure best possible results within the current software release. Process to remove corruption: 1. Open the drawing file. 2. Purge Registered Applications (from the command prompt): o     -PURGE o    "R" for Regapps (registered applications), then ENTER o    "N" when asked to verify each name to be purged, then ENTER 3. Purge All (from the command prompt): o     -PURGE o    "A" for All, then ENTER o    "N" when asked to ...
