Anytime I save an xref, I get the following in the command line when I reload the xref at the sheet level:** File P:\New Drawings\ROCKWALL 030706\xref files\9A-AD1A.dwg isn't a valid drawing.*Invalid*This just started yesterday.  I am using AutoCAD Architecture 2011.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

What is the source of the xref?  Did it come from a client or another sub-contractor perhaps?

[/QUOTE]Nope.  A file I created.  This problem also started on 3 other machines...two 2011 and one running 2012.

Have you tried running a PURGE and AUDIT on the file?

When you run PURGE do you delete all unreferenced RegApps?

First run the command line version of purge and specifically target REGAPPS all by themselves.  Then go back and do it a second time but select the option "ALL".Then run the AUDIT command.Finally, save the file before doing anything else.
