    If I audit or recover this file I get no errors, but if I try to export or batch and explode aec object I get error...try recover and no file gets created. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hi Joe,

     

    Can you Exportotautocadr12dxf? I usually go to this format as a standby when nothing else works. Maybe it will work for you.

    This happens to me too.  I do not want a DXF file, I would like to export to AutoCAD like it's supposed to.

    I've had issues when XREF's are in the drawing.

     

    I do a SAVEAS, BIND the Xrefs and EXPORT then CLOSE the drawing without Saving - seems to work

    What about DWF ??

     

    If you are wanting to use as an underlay, I have had much better results with a DWF rather than a pdf

    I agree with that Neil. Popping a pdf into a dwg is the best way I know to make AutoCAD slow to a crawl.
