Arx errors at file open - Caused by something in a lisp?

So I just went from 2018 to 2023, and I am getting these ARX errors when I open files that can just be dismissed, and I can go about my business.  They're just annoying.  Once it starts, it occurs with every drawing I open.  Here they are:

I haven't had any luck figuring this out, but if I unload my lisp routines (I have hundreds, so it's hard to narrow down which is the culprit), then I close autocad and reopen with them unloaded, the error goes away.  If I then reload all the lisp routines, the error doesn't come back immediately, but after a few hours or a day, it comes back.  Probably when I use some lisp command that loads something, but since the error only happens when I open a drawing, there's no way to know when I am "initializing" the problem.  Other people in my office (we all have the same lisp routines loaded, more or less) are having the issues, but others are not.

 

Anybody have  any ideas how I can approach this?  Maybe some specific term I can search the lisps for that needs to be revised to work right with 2023?

Yeah, I found that before.  Those suggestions, imo, do not apply when it happens on every single drawing.  These drawings have all been aectoautocaded, purged and audited to within an inch of their life.  Even if the dwg to pdf suggestion worked, I'm not doing that to every single drawing, ever.  Thanks for trying though!

I have not.  My gut tells me it's a lisp problem, plus we don't have civil 3d, just enablers.  I can't find it now, but I came across someone with a similar problem,  and it had to do with the syntax in a lisp routine that needed to be updated due to changes in newer versions of cad.  If I don't have any luck here, I'll take it over there.  Thanks for the suggestion!

How’s about starting AutoCAD in safe mode just to confirm it’s an add in issue

Well, it stopped it from giving the error, just like when I unload lisp routines, and it didn't come back when I reinstated them.  The images are the plugins that were at the plugin locations.  Not something I have ever knowingly added.

here's a screen capture of my plugins. Looks like we only have 3 in common. Perhaps it's a matter of elimination on your end as to which one is causing that error when dwg opens

@atuckerJKU9U "after a few hours" simply means the culprit is not one you use often.

You can RESET AutoCAD2023, totally resist migrating anything from 2018, and confirm it's not the core program or your files. Then one by one put those add-ins back and test each one.

You'll also need to share screenshots of your ABOUT and GRAPHICSCONFIG commands pop-ups when you post again, and confirm your OS please.
