Audit - object repaired every time

[dgb5URRJ]

When I run audit on a particular file, it repairs 2 objects every time, even if I run the command back to back.  How do I determine which objects are being repaired so I can maybe delete them or do something else to them to prevent this from recurring.  I've provided a screenshot of the output below.  Also, there are several "scale invalid" items that I would like deal with also.

This is happening in both 2025 C3D and vanilla AutoCAD.

Hi,

the id of each object are in (   ) , it's called HANDLE

but that doesn't help you or?

1. Can you share the file as ETRANSMIT zip?

    If not:

    Open the file by RECOVER

   Run AUDIT yes

    SAVEAS <another name or folder>

     Fileformat: DWG 2018.

    Open this new file, still a problem?

2. Your file format is?

RECOVER tends to do a better job than AUDIT for some folks: RECOVERALL is required if your file contains XREFs @dgb5URRJ

You can find the object by using a lisp statement like this.  Replace the portion in quotes with the object handle in question.

(command "List" "SI" (handent "152CF"))

I was able to use this list function to determine the offending object was a pdf underlay that I thought was deleted and also wasn't listed under file references.  I wasn't able to use the select command with the handle name to select it, but was able to select it using qselect.

The invalid scale problem was a couple of blocks that were defined as scale uniformly, but the objects had a different z scale.  Not sure how that did or can happen.
