*warning* multiply owned object, handle "7"

[L_C_M_KEMEL]

How do I resolve this issue with *warning* multiply owned object, handle "7"?

I have used the (entdel(handent"7")) command and the feedback reads 'nil'.

This error occurs when I select the drawing and try to copy using 'Ctrl C or right click Copy'. 

I've used the regen, purge, audit functions and nothing seems to work. I have also exported to .dxf and the file just doesn't open. 

I have attached the file for review. 

Thanks

Hello, and welcome to the forum.  Thank you for sharing your file with the group, can you tell us what version of AutoCAD you are using?  Thank you!

Problem solved. ( I thought it was, then it came back, see my next post )

Close your drawing. Then while in AutoCAD type RECOVER and do a recover on your drawing.

Issue goes away. It showed your drawing had (2) errors.

I always when submitting drawings or receiving drawings do (3) things.

(1) Audit while inside the drawing.

(2) Recover the drawing.

(3) PURGE ALL.

Using Audit I find small errors pop up all the time and don't know why.

Hope this works on your end.

I did it again and your warning came back.

XREF and detach your (3) XREFs.

Then use: OVERKILL.  This will remove all duplicate lines, circles, etc. There was a lot of them.

Then: SAVEAS a version 14.  ( tried all other versions and only 14 took the error away )

Close, then RECOVER, then Audit.

All works well. The other drawing it worked then did not. Now I cant make the error come back so should be good.

Hope this one helps!

JRR.

Hi, it is AutoCAD 2025

[L_C_M_KEMEL]

HI JRR,

What do you mean save to version 14? 

I've opened the file and it all works well at my end. 

Thanks

Luke,

First thanks for Checking Yes it solved your problem.

Many people ask for help, but don't give a thanks in the end.

If you used the file I uploaded you don't have to.

But if you want to solve this issue on your own file, or one that happens again do the SAVEAS command to V14.

My default is V2010. For those that can't update all the time, this works well.

See my paste below.

Hope this helps again.

JRR!
