Autocad Virus

Anonymous

Hi,

I have a problem with my AutoCad 2018 (mac). Some days ago one of the files I was working on started being 130MB big instead of the 30MB that is used to be by then. I tried the PURGE and other commands I found recommended online but nothing changed. Now the same file as well as a new one (in which I copied from the problematic one) are not working: lines get moved on their own, I have a different image between my MODEL display and my LAYOUT display, when I TRIM or COPY it won't read the line I see but one that doesn't exist, etc..

I uninstalled and reinstalled AutoCad and the rest of the files are ok but the infected files still won't function properly.

My online research on possible solutions wasn't helpful.

What could I do?

 

Thank you!

Katerina

Use WBLOCK command to export all of your modelspace content to a new DWG file, repeat for your other file.
If you have XREFs do it separately in each of those files first then reattach them.
