Data extraction current drawing doesn't work

[Anonymous]

I try to new create a data extraction from my current drawing. To do so I want to create a new dataextractionfile without using a current file as an example.

As source I select my current drawing and under setting I select 'Only objects in model space' 

When I choose [next] to go to the next step I see a popup flashing (I can't read it) but I stay on the same screen. This means I can't create my data extraction with these settings.

If I choose to select the objects in the drawing everything works fine but that means I have to update my selection everytime I want to update my tables.

How can this be solved?

1. Make sure you've saved the drawing before extracting data. Probably the first alert box warns you to do this.
2. Be sure to read any alert boxes.
3. Use Drawings/Sheet set unless you really want to manually mess with the selection set each time you want to add objects. I always use the filtering method to narrow down objects in dataextraction rather than selecting objects.

If these recommendations don't help, post a screencast of what you are doing.

The problem was that I couldn't read any of the alert boxes. So I wasn't able to see what the problem was.

But at this moment I solved the problem by running AUDIT and fixing the errors. After that the DATAEXTRACTION was working normaly.
