BAD CAD - Troubles in
the Machine
After you
have taken a close look at the CAD files, you need to look at
the machine to see if that is what is causing the problem.
First I
look at the Options Dialog Box. Is there anything funny in
the Files Tab. I look at the Working Files locations to
make sure that there is not some stray folder that has somehow
gotten included in the search path. Sometimes there are
files that get placed in the wrong location and supersede your
proper support files.
Here are
some areas to look at:
The
Working Files - this is where the machine looks for the support
files. Make sure that the order is correct. It will
find a file and then stop looking.
Project
Files Search Path - sometimes there is a location here that
messes up xref files or images.
Automatic
Save File Location - has your local hard drive run out of
room. Here is where to clean things up.
Next
try to open the file on another machine. If things work fine
and everything seems to be working then it may be a problem on your
machine. If the file fails on the other machine also, then it
may be the file that is bad. Read my tips on BAD
CAD Files.
Finally
- check your machine to see if it is capable of handling the files
and the software. The demands of 2006 based software ask a lot
of your hardware.
