drawing not valid please help!

hello,

 

i was working on this file in cad for mac with my system language set as chinese. after just one save it became read only and after closing the flie, it is now not valid and cannot be opened with either cad for mac or cad for windows... please see attached for the file and if anyone can help me recover it, that'd be much much appreciated. it is for an urgent project at the architectural association.

 

thanks!!!

 

ps. i already changed my system back to english but it didn't help...

 

my email is jazzyqiqiATgmail.com feel free to send me the file directly.

 

thank you so much!

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, as I think, there is no way to recover such DWG file.

BTW, if you are using AC 2011 for Mac, have you installed all 3 Updates for it?

hi maxim,

 

yes i just installed all the available updates but the problem remains... is there really no way to fix it? my mac even sees the thumbnail still. it just seems like there's just one little bug that needs to be fixed...

So, I have only one advice:

run AutoCAD with System language set to English, as outlined in System requirements for AC 2011 for Mac...
