Is the Xref nested in some and not in others?

I had this on a few occasions, the problem was in the XRef-ed file, certain blocks were apparently corrupt and meant that the file would not bind. The only way around it I found was to save the XRef file as R12 DXF, then re-open it and save it as a dwg, then they all bound without fail. Sorry it's not a quick solution but at least it's a pointer!

Good luck

I HAVE AUDITED SEVERAL OF THE XREFS AND FIXED THE ERRORS, BUT THEY STILL
WON'T BIND.  WE EVEN RAN A SUPER PURGE COMMAND WE HAVE.

THERE ARE SOME NESTED XREFS CAUSED BY ANOTHER DISCIPLINE IN THE OFFICE, BUT I
HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THOSE.

If you want to redefine all the blocks in a drawing
without any hassle you could try a LISP program I wrote. This will fix many
problems - unable to bind, unable to purge, unable to delete layer,
etc.

 

I put the RDFBLK LISP program in the
customer-files newsgroup (Subject is RDFBLK)

THANKS FOR THE HELP, I GOT ALL OF THEM DONE.  I OPENED THEM IN 2002
AND TRIED TO BIND THEM AND EVERYTHING WORKED.  I JUST HAD TO SAVE
ALL FILES AS R14 THEN.  THANKS FOR THE LISP ROUTINE, IT WILL COME
IN HANDY.
