*Warning* Multiply owned object, handle "206CF"

[ignich]

I am getting this warning as I try to save my drawing.  Not sure what it means.

My drawing file crashed (FATAL ERROR) before I was able to complete the save.  I did a MAPCLEAN followed by AUDIT, but still get the error message when trying to save.

I am using C3D 2011 with Windows 7.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This usually fixes it

Enter in the command line: (entdel(handet"206CF"))

Repeat this for any other handles that crop up,

Hi ignich-

Just as Nathan had suggested, that command will remove the object. For a bit more information about this error, please have a look at this blog post: http://beingcivil.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/08/warning-multiply-owned-objects.html

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

When I try the suggestion for the command line entry I get this:

Command: (entdel(handet"5154"))

; error: no function definition: HANDET

My errors were 5153 and 5154

[Sinc · Accepted solution]

Try (entdel (handent "5154"))

ding, ding, ding... we have a winner.  Ah, syntax, love it.  Thanks so much!

how did you find out the error #'s

I'm having the same issue after doing the initial Command:

(entdel(handet"22f29"))

; error: no function definition: HANDET

sounds like i need the error # to fix the problem.

HANDENT not HANDET.....

[jumorris]

thanks....i need to learn how to type better

Raising the Dead:

OK, the fix listed, now does not seem to work for C3D 2013.  AutoCAD just replies "nil"

Anyone have another solution to this? 

[Jeff_M]

Does the MOO not get deleted? 

What does (entget (handent "23BAE")) return?

[msarqui]

I am having the same problem.

The (entget (handent "blablabla"))  return "nil"

Autodesk!!!! Are you there??

Not necessarily, no. This is a peer to peer help forum for the most part. Yes, we do sometimes get a few of the Autodesk people to come through here. But if you want real help from them you must submit a support request through your subscription center or the product feedback page.

Can you post your drawing to see if someone here can help?

I'm having the same problem. After I delete the entity though and run audit, the drawing crashes.

Thank you sir.

Since the previous poster didn't do as requested and post the actual dwg file, I'll do so here.

Command: _QSAVE
 *Warning* Multiply owned object, handle "A4A7"
 *Warning* Multiply owned object, handle "A4A6"
 *Warning* Multiply owned object, handle "A4A5"
Command:
Command:
Command: (entdel (handent "5154"))
; error: bad argument type: lentityp nil
Command: (entdel (handent "5153"))
; error: bad argument type: lentityp nil

EDIT:  I forgot to ask this but instead of JUST DELETING the offending object(s), is there a way to repair them or at least explode them to 3d polylines (assuming they're featurelines) so that I can recreate them?  At a very minimum, I'd need to know which objects they are.

Don, I am not seeing that error message in your file, using C3D 2016. Also, your (entdel...) lines don't look right. You have to input the actual handle that says it's multiply owned:
(entdel (handent "A4A7")) would be correct based on the outpout you show.

That's odd.  I'm also using C3D 2016 here (SP1).  I've seen this error previously in 2012 & 2014 too.

I copy/pasted the lisp code from the "answer" posted above.  I guess it never dawned on me that I needed to change it to the actual handle(s). 

Any thoughts on the second part of the question (the "EDIT")?
