I am generating a Release 14 .dxf file from outside of Autocad and upon loading receive the following error:
Bad handle 17DF: already in use
The following error was encountered while reading
in LWPOLYLINE starting at line 139572:
Class separator for class AcDbEntity expected
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.
1) How do I determine the $HANDSEED value?
2) Is the $HANDSEED value the next handle value after the drawing is loaded or the base of all handle values in the file?
I have tried many different values and can not see a pattern.
The following is part of the .dxf file I have used which works on some Autocad installations but not in other in particular the 64bit version of Autocad.

$HANDSEED

17df

Thanks in advance
The value shown for the last DXF Handle is 17DF. (this is hexa, ie 6111 dec).
You must allot the next number for your entity (17E0).
This should solve the problem.
