#Damaged ACAD 10 file
4 messages in this thread
To all,
I would appreciate any help in solving this problem I'm having with an ACAD
10 file; its disk was damaged (and has no usable backup, so sue me) and now
when loaded gives the error: "INTERNAL ERROR: EREAD 5 read 67" followed
by:
3012:0181-053E:0000 053E:017C-0556:000C 0556:007E-1B71:0004

and ACAD qutting. Using control-c to interrupt the drawing error doesn't
stop the error. Forgot to mention, part of the file (about 10% displays
before the error)
Any input into recovering this file would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you realize that your drawing file has been damaged. Since
you've tried the Ctrl-C technique, your other recourse is to get ahold of
one of the drawing recovery programs and see what it can do with the
drawing. The best known of these is AutoSAVE from CYCO (404/634-3302).
Damaged drawing files is one good reason to upgrade to AutoCAD Release 11,
since it includes some built-in recovery techniques. Also, don't store
valuable drawings on floppies alone, and especially on a single floppy.

Dear Mark,
I am ever so greatful for your help with that bloody file. I'll gladly
name my first-born after you…actually, for two bits extra, you can have
him or her.
In a position to let my hair grow back in, Sincerely,
Karl.
Karl:
You want ME to pay YOU in order that I might take a mueling (sp?), puking
little blob off your hands?! Surely you jest….
Actually, if the drawing does get fixed, you could name the kid Cyco.
