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 verify each name to be
purged, then ENTER
4.
Audit (from the command prompt):
o AUDIT
o "Y" to fix any errors detected
5.
Save the drawing file.
< If the
drawing file is in need of a deeper clean, proceed to step 6. >
6.
Open a new blank drawing file.
7.
Insert the affected drawing (from
the command prompt):
o INSERT
o Select the affected drawing file from the process
above
o Uncheck "Specify On-screen" and check
"Explode", then OK
8.
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
9.
Purge All (from the command
prompt):
o -PURGE
o "A" for All, then ENTER
o "N" when asked to verify each name to be
purged, then ENTER
10.
Audit (from the command prompt):
o AUDIT
o "Y" to fix any errors detected.
11.
Save the drawing file.
Optional:
Overkill (from the command prompt):
o OVERKILL
o Select objects, then ENTER
o Check or uncheck properties to ignore and options, then OK
This process
can be performed to truly clean each file and correct the issue. Typically,
this process takes 2-4 minutes per drawing. Additionally, if you need to
utilize this on a routine basis, where a script may be warranted for use within
your software, please navigate to the ScriptPro
tool on Autodesk Labs.
