AutoCaD file corruption

[maniesh1175]

Every time the drawing “51603691A.dwg” is opened, the panels and other objects are getting deleted, and the customer reports that he needs to copy and paste panels from DXF files “ Panel 1” & “ Panel 2”, as well as objects from the “51603691A-CM.dwg”. AutoCAD is used to create all the objects. The problem is solved by renaming the panel after copying and pasting it from the DXF and other objects files from “51603691A-CM.dwg”. I am  curious to know what caused the file corruption.

Hard to say without having the files 😉

It sounds you are talking about Blocks with the same name, but different definitions.

That's the problem you cannot control: your new content/blocks all have the same exact names as older/different definitions that already reside in their destination file.

RENAME is the primary solution here (you decide where to do it): a workaround is for you to provide them with a BLOCK Library and train them to INSERT/REPLACE instead of the problematic copy/paste, OR... ask them to INSERT or COPY/PASTE their file into your newer one, then WBLOCK out their content to create a new /replacement DWG file.

You and them need to coordinate together to find a mutually acceptable solution. Best wishes.
