FATAL ERROR: out of memory, when openning Specific Drawing

[alx86]

I have a weird problem which I'm not sure if it's a AutoCAD problem or a network issue. We are 7 drafters and our drawings are saved on a Network. We have some drawings that at some point kind of get corrupted and won't open on any of the 7 computers. Any other drawing will open fine with no error, but when we try to open the "corrupted" drawing we instantly get the (FATAL ERROR: Out of memory) message and can't do nothing with it.

The drawings are really simple and not a big file (228ko and 473ko)

It's the 2nd time this happen withing 3 days on 2 different .dwg. The first time, we were able to open the drawing but can't do anything in it. Even draw a simple line was resulting in AutoCAD to give the message. The .bak was also unusable but I've been able to insert the corrupted drawing as an XREF in a new DWG, bind it and explode it, but the 2nd time I wasn't able to insert it as a XREF but we were lucky enough that the .BAK was up to date and not corrupted.

I've attached the drawing with this post.

Thanks

The file won't open for me using either the normal OPEN using the RECOVER drawing utility.

Hi, I was able to open the drawing with no problem. I ran an audit on it and it came back with no errors.

Opens fine for me. Audit detects no errors.

That's strange. You've been able to open it and it gave you no error? Since I can't open the file, I can't run an Audit on it, but I've tried to run a recover on the drawing, but it gave me the same Fatal Error.

Here's a link to a screencap I've made to show what it does when I try to recover.

Are you able to open the dwg that Laser Guy posted?

[alx86]

Yes, both of them, but I can't ask Laser Guy to correct them for me all the time 😉

[sthompson1021]

Do you use any add on's or run any custom lisp routines?

[alx86]

We have no add-on installed, but I've made a Lisp file regrouping some Lisp in it and some Key Shortcut I've created for myself. But I've been using this lisp for about 4 years on Acad 2007 and about a year in Acad 2013, so I don't think that lisp is the source of this.

I've attach my lisp with this post in case someone want to look at it.

Your error message may have nothing to do with the file in question: as a test when this happens again, place the file on a local PC (after you restart the PC), unplug from your network and try to open it.

Your file have no issues, I can open it in plain R2014 as noted above.
