Anonymous — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 14:10:20 GMT

Hello. I'm using AutoCAD 2009 and 2017.

suddenly, exportlayout command is not working in attached file. if I trying on AutoCAD 2009, then eInvaildInput error is appear. I tried purge, audit, and recoverall command but all useless.

can I use this command again? or, is something alternative command or method like exportlayout?

Hi,

sorry to say, I can only confirm that issue. I see the same happing and even if the layout is cleaned or a new layout is created (everything erased in layout, everything erased in modelspace, everything purged incl. regapp).

I can only suggest to use copy and paste to copy your geometry from modelspace into a new drawing and continue with that new dwg-file.

Sorry for not having good news, but maybe someone else can find ways to get your drawing alive.

Hi @Anonymous,

Despite running Audit I was unable to find the errors in your file that are causing this problem. I was able however to create a new drawing, import your layout using DesignCenter and then copy/paste the modelspace objects in to the new file. After doing this I was able to export the layout successfully.
