HELP ME - Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

Anonymous
No aplicable

Someone please help me. I have read all these threads on this site and beyond and nothing is opening my file.

Heres the info

 

Error in BLOCK_RECORD Table
Invalid symbol table record name: "" on line 21242.
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

 

Apparently I saved my file as a 2000 DXF file. So as I was working off a given DWG file, everytime I saved my drawing, It saved as a DXF .

Autocad crashed and now nothing will open my drawing.

 I have a deadline !!

Here's what I've done to fix it according to numerous threads on similar issues.

Open in Notepad and find the specfic line corresponding to the error message and fix the problem - DIDNT WORK

Rename the file with a .DWG- Didnt Work

Try opening the file in TrueView  - Didnt Work

Recovery, Audit, WBlock. - cant even attempt to do this because as soon as I hit enter or space after writing audit in the command line, it disappeers and becomes the normal Drawing 1 when you start a new drawing.  - Didnt Work

Sent the file to other people to try and open - Didnt Work

 

I have attached the file. please someone help me!

Hi,

 

welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

 

>> can u plz help me get my file back:  DXF read error on line 458023.

Open the DXF in an editor like notepad++, goto line 458023 and try to repair it.

If you want that we take a look into it the file would be necessary then.

Hi,

 

the file is defect in a way I guess it's not repairable. Even if your play with the end-of file settings I guess there would be parts missing.

Reason I think: a download of that file (or any transfer) has lost the end of the file as it is nulled out.

 

Try to get the file again from the sender.

Hi,

 

>> Where and how should I send you my file?

You can upload it here to the thread...

What does AutoCAD show when you try to open (or insert) that file?

Which version of AutoCAD do you have?

BLOCK_RECORD Table Invalid symbol table record name: "" on line 7476.

Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

 

I hope you can help white te problem i have also have a problem to attach the files to te mail.

 

Correct the highlighted errors and try again.

The attachment's ejb15a.dxf content type (application/x-dxf) does not match its file extension and has been removed.
The attachment's ejb20a.dxf content type (application/x-dxf) does not match its file extension and has been removed.

 

With kind regards,

I see that the files have been repaired and sent back, but what is the repair process?

Hi,

 

compare both ascii files (the dxf are textfiles).

Powerful Texteditors can compare them.

 

But why you are asking, is it your file?

Other files & repair processes won't help you with other files.

 

The general process is to check the issue and to correct the .dxf file manually.

One exception: Some issues are ignored by some other software what can read .dxf files, so it is possible to open and save a dxf by a non-Autodesk software.

 

 

 

Sebastian
