Can not open drawing in LDC

I need to open and old project in Land. If I try to open it in Land Desktop Companion 2009 the drawing fails. Sometimes I can submit an error report, sometimes the program just goes away. The drawing was last opened in LDT 2005, so it is an R2004 format. I can open it in Land Enabled Map with no problems.

 

I've tried; Recover, Audit, Wblocking, Inserting, Purging, Map Drawing Cleanup, Purging Regapps and maybe a few other things. I saved the drawing, from Map, in a 2007 format and that has the same problem.

 

I thinks something is wrong with some or all of the points. If I select all of the points. The selection set blinks. I'm attaching the drawing. If anyone can find out what's wrong. I'd appreciate it. BTW The backup has the same problem.

 

I had to attache the WBlocked version because it was small enough. But is also has the problem.

Hi Allen,

I can open the drawing in LDC2009 without a problem.  Have you applied all the Service Packs available for LDC2009? I ran the CheckPoints and added all to the project point database. Audit reports no errors.

Hello Jeff,

 

Thanks for taking a look. LDC is at SP3 (Version 4). So that looks to be current. I opened other drawing in LDT to check if it was the program and had not problem. It seems to be just this one drawing

 

 I never got any errors with an audit or recover either. I opened it in C3D 2011 and it didn't find any errors either. I found I can't even Xref the drawing in to an LDT drawing.

 

If you would. Can you e-mail me the drawing if you saved it? jessupa AT co.rockland.ny.us.

Just on the off chance it was the program I tried a repair but the drawing still fails.

Just an FYI. It's definitely the points. I opened the drawing in LEM and erased the points. Now the drawing opens. I have the point database so I'll just have to reinsert the points.

I'm a bit slow this Friday, but I sent the saved drawing to your email anyway. Odd that I could open it fine but you couldn't. I wonder if there is something in the Points.mdb or Groups.mdb files mucking it up.

Thanks Jeff. I have to wait until our IT Dept. releases it because it's a Zip file. Allen

The drawing you sent me opens with no problem after being copied to the original project path. So no bad database. I think this will remain one of those mysteries we'll never know the answer to. I appreciate the help.
