![]() ![]() It could get more complicated if the user did not install the appropriate “object enabler". The scenario I have discussed above is an easy case. The user may display these proxy objects by accessing the variable “PROXYSHOW” and set it to 1. When they open the file, the “proxy” objects do not display and they cannot figure out what is wrong. The problem is many people turn this message off. In this case, the user should receive a “proxy warning” which asks for permission to display the objects. When the user opens the drawing in plain AutoCAD, the objects either don’t show up or the user is not able to make modifications to the geometry. An example of this would be a customer who uses AutoCAD MEP to create duct systems using the special duct routing tools available. It is possible that the file has special objects in it which cannot be read by the AutoCAD version opening the file. ![]() These calls vary in presentation, but always go back to the same issue. After some investigation, it turns out that the drawing was originally authored in Autodesk AutoCAD MEP 2014, and they are trying to open the file in plain AutoCAD 2011. Another user might report not being able to see geometry that was modeled or drawn before opening the file. For example, I often receive calls from customers who report the inability to use their trim/offset tool to modify the line work on the AutoCAD® file they received from someone else. Issues with CAD drawing file corruption commonly arise as I’m working on supporting our customers. This article summarizes common things to look for when working with corrupt dwg files. ![]()
