AutoCAD LT 2017 Error Aborting

Anonymous — Fri, 13 May 2016 14:14:14 GMT

Original I had a problem opening one file which would cause the programme to crash.

I would receive the following message.

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0dffffffff Exception at e2912eaeh

I tried the file on other computers, it worked fine but am now finding the error occurring on more files.

Any ideas?

operating system is Windows 7

"other computers" also running LT2017? Win7? Everyone have the 2017 hotfix installed?

Because it works on the other computers I would hazard a guess the problem is the computer, but it's only certain files.

The computer/programme works fine with the majority which makes me think its the files :-S

Find out what is unique about these 'certain files': I suspect it ought to be all files if it was just your PC's setup that is the cause.

Can you use RECOVER command to open these files? Use RECOVERALL if they contain Xrefs.

Have you tried running through some file clean up steps for the files that are having the fatal error issue? Fatal errors can happen for various reasons. I would try the steps that Dean suggested along with a few other file clean up steps suggested here and below.

Run RECOVERALL, at the command line and select drawing, save drawing and close.
Run RECOVER, at the command line and select drawing.
(-)PURGE > Regapps > Enter>No
(-)PURGE>ALL> Enter>No
AUDIT> Yes
PURGE > Select Purge nested items> Select Automatically purge orphaned data > Purge All
(-)SCALESEDIT
CTRL+A > OVERKILL (Warning: use this command with caution, running the command modifies your geometry by deleting objects you may need.Save a copy of the original file in case of any unwanted changes. )
Close and Save newly purged file (ex. CLEANED_file)
Apply workflow.

Have you tried resetting your settings to default and work in those specific files does the issue still happen?

If you have resolved your issue and have the time please mark the post that helped you and or post what worked for you.

Thanks.
