Jim Smith Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Any new tricks for fixing broken files? I have tried the Workgroup Reference trick but the original file is not recognized as a VW file. It may be something I am doing, but I am experiencing more frequent corruption of files in VW12. It happened again today. The file is fine one minute, and then when I attempt to reopen I?m informed the file is an older version of VW and a new file will be opened, but sadly the file is corrupted & will not open. It may be a coincidental, but the files in question all stated life as imported AC dwg files, but this is also what I have been working in (for the most part) since moving to VW12. (I updated to 12 why again?) What may also be a coincidence is I have been copy/pasting from one file to another. Copy/pasting from one file to another is a habit I broke some time ago & have been using workgroup referencing however; I?ve been a bit of a backslider of late. Any thoughts other than: ?suck-it-up ?by & rebuild the file?? VW12 Architect INTEL Mac Tiger OS Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If the file is more than 0k, send the file to tech@nemetschek.net and someone over there will be able to help you. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks, I will send it over. It happened again today. The file was imported and saved, then opend several times without saving. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Katie, I have been attempting to send examples of the prob. files however; I have noticed the files are 0kb in size and my EMail programme informs me that no file is attached. So other than sending the AutoCad file, do you have any thoughts regarding this situation? Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Katie, I did manage to send a file using a different EMail programme. This seems to be a very worrysome trend, I have another file corrupted again today! I would list this as the opposite of a good thing. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Katie, FYI loaded 12.5 yeaterday and have not had a file go south; yet. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 If a file is 0k, there's nothing in the file for us to recover. That's good to hear - a number of the corrupted file problems are resolved in VW 12.5. Quote Link to comment
