Possible Corrupt File

I have a file that is appearing to be corrupt.  Unfortunatly I'm not in a position to get another copy of the file.

 

Does anyone know anyone with AutoDesk or another software that might be able to open a possibly damaged file?  Or have any recomendations on what might help to be able to open this file?

 

Thanks,

Matt

Have you performed a RECOVER yet?

RECOVER command
or INSERT the problem file into a working template file.
or a Partial open of the file may help.
or use a 3rd party CAD program capable of opening DWG files to open and resave it. Lots of freeware out there do this function.

After that it's pretty much time to figure out how to ask for another copy since that's all you can do on your end.

Here is a great article we have on cleaning and repairing DWG files:
