Hi:
After completely uninstalling mscad2004 and reinstalling sp7, I can no longer use a number of my mscad files. When I go to open them I sometimes get:
1. An access violation and it won't open at all.
2. As soon as I do a command I get an acces violation an it shuts down, (the command I am trying to do is extend a line to a large circle).
3. Or I get a hook error and the selection box is stuck on and there are no crsshairs, and then it crashes, or just freezes up.
If I start a brand new drawing there does not seem to be the same problems. They appear to operate fine.
If I can get the program to operate long enough, I can save it as dwg and intellicad opens it just fine and everything seems to work. But if then try to open the dwg I still have the same problems. Not all files have these same problems but I do seem to have a large percentage of my files, some of them ongoing projects that I can no longer use, this is a great big problem. Now that I have switched to mscad2004 the old mscad2002 won't open them anymore either, wrong file version. Is there a utility that can convert files back to mscad2002 flx?
Just a side note: recover seems to be no help at all, get the same errors.
Hope this is a speedily fixable problem, there are whole projects that I can't get into.
I recognize that the problem seems to be with the cad engine, but I can't afford to loose these files.
Thanks
