Prerequisite: Detect corruption in your drawing Use these 5 points to track down the source of the re-corruption, and you'll have a squeaky clean drawing again! By inserting corrupted blocks: The block could be a title block template, a site block, a detail block, general notes – anything corrupted. Always clean drawing files you plan to use as Xrefs before Xrefing them in, then clean your drawing.ĥ. By not cleaning an Xrefed drawing: The file you've Xrefed in will just reinfect your drawing through the Xref link. By opening CAD with QNEW linked to a corrupted DWT template file – again, due to point #1 above.Ĥ. At that point, Nuke has already saved what's needed.ģ. You can close after running Nuke without saving. By saving a drawing after running Nuke because of the issue above. From there, can infect other drawings that are opened before you restart CAD.Ģ. If you open the dirty drawing, it loads the proxies into CAD. Through an instance of open AutoCAD: The other instance doesn't even need to be open at the same time. These bad proxies and registered applications can reinfect a cleaned drawing in a few ways:ġ. If you Nuke a drawing and it later comes back corrupted again (you open the drawing and it again has bad proxies and RegApps), then something about your cleaning process is not complete. We've had several Land F/X users tell us that they cleaned their drawing, Nuked or manually cleaned everthing multiple times using the Land F/X steps, but it's still showing that there's corruption. Common Question: I Cleaned My Drawing, but It's Still Showing Corruption! Why? You have a simple decision to make, right here, right now: Spend some time to understand and implement drawing cleanup practices, or spend far more time at a far more inopportune moment to deal with recreating entire drawings. But trust us: You'll lose much, much more time to a corrupt drawing than you'll spend cleaning drawings and Xrefs. Drawing cleanup: Ignore at your own risk!Ĭleaning drawings will take time – you cannot avoid this.
