![]() ![]() Windows repair disk did not work.Īfter several hours of booting, (or not booting) I finally just took out the hard drive and placed it into my newer computer thinking I would just copy the files. Today's post is what to do and better yet, what not to do. I'm going to look into Raid storage now, so that may be a topic for a future post. I've been pretty good about keeping photos and movies on two, 1 Terra byte external hard drives but failed to do so with everyday "My Documents" kind of things. Windows occasionally would not boot up properly. The hard drive in my old computer was failing. Well, as usual it's been a while, but since I'm waiting for a few thousand files to be recovered, I figure I'd share my woes with anyone who just might be having similar issues. The results in Excel or Open Office (shown) look like this: Copy that formula down the entire column and viola! you have a quick way to find all the variables that are different. The formula I wrote was =IF(A1=B1,ok,DIFFERENT). In column C, I wrote a formula to compare the two columns or actually two cells, one from each column. Or, at least that's what the System Variable Editor spits out. I was surprised to see that there were the same number of variables between Civil 3D and AutoCAD. I ran up and down Excel to verify that all rows matched up and to make sure one program didn't have some variables in it that the other did not. Not necessarily the value of each variable. No need to sort or split into columns because we will be checking the value of each cell. I put ACAD into column A, and Civil 3D into column B. ![]() svp file in Notepad, copied the entire contents and pasted the contents into Excel. It often will shave several Megabytes from the file size. ![]() Look at the file size before and after the Wblocking. That block would not be selected if you used the Window selection method and did not include that speck.īy the way, this Wblock method is just a great tool for really cleaning up any drawing. Crossing is the safer method in case there's an oddball block with a hard-to-see speck way off in space somewhere. You probably should select by Window or Crossing or WindowPoly or CrossingPoly, (not All or Ctrl+A), to make sure only the visible things are saved to the new drawing. Just hope the paperspace objects were not the corrupt part of the drawing. Or you can Copy and Paste from old drawing to new drawing. If you need the paperspace objects, you can use Design Center to drag the layout tabs back into the new file from the old file. Only the modelspace entities you select will be wblocked. Be aware that Wblocking by the selection method will not include any paperspace entities. ![]()
