Can't open or recover dwg

Yesterday I was working in this file and today it just goes to 43% and freezes my computer, bak file is doing the same. Any suggestions?

No luck with relavent previous drawings from my server.

I tried a few things including Insert, MapQuery and Recover. Civil 3D locked up on all three. I hope your IT department has a server backup for you because this drawing appears to be dusted.

Using plain AutoCAD 2014 to Recover the fie it opened almost immediately. It found, and fixed, a number of errors relating to PDF references.

Note that I had to use the 'real' plain AutoCAD from Infrastructure Design Suite and NOT the "Civil3d as Autocad" shortcut.

You can grab the recovered file here:

I didn't think of using vanilla AutoCAD. Good catch, Jeff.

BTW, what are you doing working on Sunday? You should be out golfing or something. 😉

I was ill with the flu 3 days this week, Tim. Have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, it's hot today & I don't golf (silly game, chasing little white balls all over the place!) Not to mention how much fun I have chasing down bugs in Autodesk's and my own code while watching NASCAR! 🙂
