"A generic error has occurred in GDI+"

[Anonymous]

What does this mean and how can i fix it?

[Alfred.NESWADBA]

Hi,

the issue itself is depending on operating system and graphic card. >>>search results<<<.

I don't think it's something specific to AutoCAD.

So let me ask some questions:

• What product and service pack do you use
• What operating system do you have
• What graphic card and driver version do you have
• When and how often do you get that message
• Can you show the screenshot so we see what's on your screen when that message appeared.

Hi.

I have a similar problem only with Autocad LT 2010 (upgraded with the last service pack)) on Windows 10 (last upgrade). The problem appears only when switch trough differents drawings with the comand "Disegni vista rapida" on the bottom right.

The error detail is:

L'applicazione non supporta il debug JIT.
Ulteriori informazioni sono riportate in fondo al messaggio.

Hi,

>> Autocad LT 2010 (upgraded with the last service pack)) on Windows 10

AutoCAD LT 2010 is not supported to run on Windows 10, either update your AutoCAD LT or make the step back to your original operating system.

Details from Autodesk about their products on Windows 10 >>>click<<<

Strange, because I am using windows 10 with autocad LT2010 from this summer and today is the first time that appear this problem...

[Alfred.NESWADBA]

Hi,

>> I am using windows 10 with autocad LT2010 from this summer

Then you are one of the lucky ones, at least for a few months.

So when it was running well and now stopped then look what happend to your system, most probably some updates where installed (or any other software)?

    public static Bitmap GetBlockImage(this ObjectId objectId, Size size)
    {
      if (!objectId.IsValid())
        throw new InvalidDataException(nameof (objectId));
      if (size.IsEmpty)
        throw new InvalidDataException(nameof (size));
      Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color backgroundColor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color.FromRgb((byte) 0, (byte) 0, (byte) 0);
      return System.Drawing.Image.FromHbitmap(Utils.GetBlockImage(objectId, size.Width, size.Height, backgroundColor));
    }

I also encountered this type of error, what should I do? I am currently using the English version of autocad 2018. I remembered before that it seemed that it was not difficult to get the preview of the block reference, but now I don't know what I forgot, and it keeps throwing this error message.

Can you take a look at it for me? Thank you very much. In order to more clearly restore the current dilemma, I will show more code.

The reason I encountered: it is necessary to determine the blank blocks and filter them out, otherwise an error will occur.
