Recently we had a problem with corrupted AutoCAD drawings (mostly entity CRC errors). After we changed memory in one workstation and relocated drawings from Novell 2.2 to Novell 386 server it disappeared. It looks OK right now. We don't know which drawings were corrupted. Drawings are mixed in several subdirectories on a file server. Until now we had to recover, restore from backup, or recover with AutoSave about fifteen drawings. Our total is about two thousand drawings using 400Mb of disk space. What we want to do, it is to check integrity of all drawings which we have. I don't know any method or utility to do it in batch mode. I can write a two thousand lines batch file and have a script to open and close each drawing, but error message files are not always created on error condition. This will mean that we would have to open and close two thousand files manually. AutoSave won't operate in a batch mode neither. Please live me a message, if someone knows how to check integrity of a large number of drawings automatically. Thanks, Maciek Fiutak
