Client Install of ADT3.3 ** Severe Error **

We are currently using a client install of ADT/ABE2/ABM2. When opening
drawings created in R14 and that contain xrefs, we receive an "AutoCAD
Severe Error, file not found" dialog box. If I were to open the file in a
Network install of ADT the file opens up fine. Has anyone receive this error
message before? Once the file is opened in the Network ADT and saved the
file is fine.

Hi Thomas -

That sounds ... umm ... interesting.

Just so I have this straight. You have some R14 drawings that have xrefs.

If you open the drawing in a client deployment of ADT3.3, the files open
fine. No error message.

If you open the drawing in a client deployment of ABx (on top of the same
client deploy of ADT3.3) you get the "Severe error"?

What happens after the Severe error?

< fine. No error message.>>

No. I can't open the file in a client deployment of ADT3.3. I can open the
file in a network version of ADT fine, save it and then it opens fine in the
client deployment. I just asked another department to try and open the file,
also a client install, and they can open it fine. I need to check some of my
code that I have run at startup. I know I'm having a problem with my ACAD
env settings. I report back later.

Problem solved, it was one of my routines.

(vl-load-com)
(defun set_psty (/ output)
(setq output
(vla-get-output (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))
(vla-put-defaultoutputdevice output "67B2OceTBON.pc3")
(vla-put-plotpolicy output "0")
(vla-put-defaultplotstyletable output "psands.stb")
(vla-put-defaultplotstyleforlayer output "black")
)

I was using it to set a drawing to Named Styles using the psands.stb file. I
guess there is an issue I'm over looking.
