AcDbOle2Frame

[Anonymous]

I have a company owned application thats coded to use AutoCAD.  Drawing files are being corrupted and will no longer open unless a RECOVER is performed.  Need to know what exactly is corrupting the drawing. This is the Recovery log from a drawing file.  I also attached a copy of the corrupt drawing file.

Hi,

>> Need to know what exactly is corrupting the drawing

I guess noone can tell you what damaged the drawing. But I would say one of the major reasons could be the usage of OLE-objects and the drawing format DWG2000 which is like comuter stone age. OLE-objects are a critical part, also sometimes in current software releases.

Whenever you have a chance to use anything else but OLE-objects, use the alternative.

And saving back drawings to such an old release should be avoided too.

PS: as we are here in the development forum: are you writing an app which creates that issues?
