Unable to open/recover/convert file - AutoCAD 2023

[lamnguyen3954]

Hi all,

I have only 2 files of all that cannot open/convert file, please help me (my file attached here).

Opening it will make not responding even though i leave all night. But opening with dwg trueview or other CAD (Enjicad, Librecad...) is OK, with Purge/Audit 0 errors.

DWGCONVERT command cannot convert. I have tried to save as dfx/dft file, cannot open the file too.

(I am using autocad2023 version, with my system is 32gb ram)

Hi,

I can open your CAD file without any error (see attached CAD dwg file and try to open it .. saved in AutoCAD2018 format)

I'm able to open the drawing without any issue. Please find the updated drawing attached.

Hi,

I've waiting for 2 hours 😂 can you purge/audit again, or convert to 2D object of all? Thanks a lot..

>> can you purge/audit again, or convert to 2D object of all?

In my previous post i already purge and recover CAD file for you

Honestly .. Not recognize your need. Would you please elaborate more your need?😁

[lamnguyen3954]

Thanks, but I still don't get it yet. Maybe something wrong with my ms windows, not CAD

[imadHabash]

try this one 👇 and open it from inside AutoCAD by OPEN command.

[lamnguyen3954]

Thanks a lot, but it still doesn't work yet. I'll try other ways

Hello, and welcome.  In your first post you gave the version of AutoCAD and your RAM... (thank you!), can you share a bit more information about the system you are working on?  Computer, processor, graphics... are you on a network, VPN, cloud storage etc.  Anything that might give a clue why this works for some and not for you.  Thanks in advance!

Where are you storing the file to open it exactly?

And did you restart your PC yet? Try to login as a different user to test?

Can anyone else in your office open these two troublesome files?

@lamnguyen3954 

Hi, were you able to get this resolved?  If so, can you share your solution?

[lamnguyen3954]

Hi,

I tried restart, or save it on desktop, D\... but nothing. Open it makes CAD be not responding, but other files is OK.

my mates use other CAD (LibreCAD,EnjCAD) can open normally.

Hi,

I am using AutoCAD 2023, Student version, with 32gb DDR5 ram, AMD ryzen 6800H, rtx3050 mobile, windows 11 24H2... and i am working offline for these files. Thanks.

And I haven't able it yet

I was able to open the file in AutoCAD 2026, please open new drawing and type recoverall and select the drawings and verify whether it works. I have attached the file that opened and works. Please check

What does that mean please? AutoCAD2023 is not an online program.

[lamnguyen3954]

mr. CGBenner ask me if i am on a network/PVN/cloud storage... I mean I am using only on my lap, not connect to outside, or open it over server...

Of course I know autoCAD is not online, I have been working for 8y 😁 

Thanks a lot.

[lamnguyen3954]

Hi,

Thanks a lot, but I still can't open it. Maybe my version (student CAD ver., 2023) or my windows 11 home is the reason. Because I have tried in many ways: purge (in other laps)/recover/recover all/copy to a new file/save in dfx file to reopen....
