Hey J Cowles;
Have you attempted an Audit and Purge on all of the XREF DWGs that are
associated with your common errors? It may even be necessary to WBLOCK
certain of these DWGs, if the Audit & Purge aren't complete for "fixing"
them.
When employing this version of WBLOCK, it would be best to run through a
Layer State to save it's current Layers the way they are now, and then
Export them, before you Thaw and On all of them prior to the Wblock next.
When you Wblock don't be tempted to Select the entities with an All, instead
use a Window to select all the uncorrupted entities in the DWG. Once you've
created the New DWG, you can then Import and Restore the previous Layer
State I had you create above, so that everything is back the way it should
have been before you started this endeavor.

I have several drawings within a very large project that have become
corrupted. It seems as if some sort of XREF error is being passed around
like a virus within the project.
I'm using LDD3 and Civil Design 3.
When I overlay XREF multiple drawings into a drawing, additional XREF layers
are appearing in layer manager for other drawings that are not attached to
the overlain XREFs. The XREF layers that show up in layer manager belong to
XREFs that do not exist within XREF manager. I've tried auditing, purging,
and CDGpurging all of the main XREF drawings, but I'm still having these
issues, even if I start a new drawing from scratch and overlay the XREFs,
the phantom XREF layers appear. Drawings are crashing daily, and recovering
isn't working on some of them because it fails when it's loading xrefs. If I
can get the drawings open, dettaching all the XREFs helps, but it comes back
as soon as a few of them are overlaid again. I'm really at a loss of what
else i can do here.
Has anyone had anything similar like this happen?
