Hi @rgilbim,

Thank you for posting your question here. Could you post a copy of the drawing file where you're encountering the error? I'll be happy to take a look.

Does the file contain any non-Autodesk content?

Have you tried repairing the file?

Attached find the file im trying to convert. 

Tried everything suggested even purging and auditing it.

Thank you for posting the file, @rgilbim.

When I first open the file, I get the "Foreign DWG" message:

This indicates the drawing was created/saved by a non-Autodesk software. Which program did you use to the create your file?

This is likely the cause of the error, and you may need to address the root cause of the issue in the third-party application that created or modified the file.
