Try using the RECOVER command.  Maybe the file got corrupted somehow.Do NOT uninstall AutoCAD.

Is there a .BAK file for the drawing?Where did you get this drawing you are trying to open?Have you tried opening it on another computer?

Hi rlowery521!It can be third-party applications running inside AutoCAD. Or maybe your file is damaged, In this case you can try to recover it with the help of DWG Fix Toolbox. Here the link https://www.fixtoolbox.com/autocadfix.html

rlowery: Whatever you do DON'T take the advice of the previous post.  It is a scam.

I see what this is now.  A thinly disguised attempt to point people with problematic drawings to a website of dubious character.  Basically, it was a SCAM!Anyone else who comes across this thread should NOT click on the link provided above.Why don't you guys get a life and stop pushing your crappy "fix" on unsuspecting CAD users.
