Hi,

>> i was used recover command but file don't open

Which version and service pack of AutoCAD do you have?

If you have a vertical product like AutoCAD Architecture or Mechanical or Civil 3D, which one?

(otherwise sending a repaired dwg for AutoCAD 2018 might result in you can't open it 😉 )

Any reason you could not use the file I reposted in my last reply?

Hi @Anonymous,

I, like others used RECOVER to look for errors in the file you provided. During this process it appears that there are so many corrupt entities that many are removed from the drawing entirely.

I found that Purge and -Purge>Regapps also cleaned up the file quite a bit. I have attached my version of your file but compared to the drawing preview, most of the content is no longer in the file.

Do you have another copy of the drawing? Perhaps in a backup?
