*INVALID* Xref error

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello all,

 

I am working in AutoCAD LT 2019. I have file A (GROUND FLOOR), xref'ed into file B (GROUND FLOOR_Group A), and file B xref'ed into file C (Sheet file). 

 

The problem I am having is that when I try to Xref file B into my sheet file (or even new files) I often get the invalid error message below:

invalid error.JPG

So I have used the recover all command, -purge (regapps), -purge (all), and audit on both files A & B. I have even wblock both the files and the issue is temporarily fixed, but then it comes back within a matter of 15/30 mins. I must also add that whenever I Xref file B into the sheets it is making the saving process SUPER slow.

 

I am attaching files A & B to this post in hopes that someone can please help me. My best guess would be that there is a rogue block or symbol that gets purged but keeps coming back... I am on a deadline in an office that has no in-house CAD support, so this is kind of my last attempt at fixing this issue after having searched the forums with no luck finding a solution to the same issue I am having. 

 

Thank you very much in advance for any help, suggestion, or scrubbing of this file. I wouldn't know where to start to look for the corruption in it...

Recover the file that you are trying to XREF into your drawing.  It has worked for me on several occasions.
