Yesterday I did a considerable amount of work in a drawing. I drafted quite a bit in it, and I also inserted another dwg of about the same size and exploded it to make one large map.
Now when I try to open it, it comes up with the same "One or more SHX files are missing" error that it always does, but when I click "Ignore", the file just loads and loads and eventually stops responding. I tried using the .bak file and the RECOVER command to access the file, but neither worked. Someone else was able to get the file to open in a full version of AutoCAD. I've worked in larger files than this before, so I wouldn't think that it's a processing issue.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to get the drawing to open again?
