On rare occasions, users send us copies of files that are problematic. The gCADPlus file can sometimes get corrupted.
Here is a series of steps we take to deal with these files.
Assuming that you have tried to recover from a backup or autosave file, and these reclaimed files show the same error,
1. Use File >SaveAs and choose DXF file format.
Tip: Give the new DXF a different name from the original drawing.
2. Close and restart gCADPlus and open the new DXF copy.
Tip: Use the change files of type to select DXF, not the name of the original [problem] file.
3. Save the file in the native lcd format and continue working on it. [It may well be somewhat larger than the original file]
Tip: Don’t forget to use the Increment and Save feature at regular intervals.
