I’ve seen quite a few complaints that AutoCAD 2009 refuses to open some drawings saved in 2000 or 2004 format unless the Recover command has been used on them. Autodesk has now issued a Knowledge Base item about this issue. There’s no real fix in AutoCAD 2009 yet, just an external workaround. You will [...]  30 May 2008, 4:04 pm |  3 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Bug | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2009, Bug AutoCAD 2009 users, I strongly suggest you go and set the new system variable OPENPARTIAL to 0.
