Sow that is good news! I really don't know why your friend has that problem and you can try to reinstall the whole os... Maybe upgrade AutoCAD?
Good luck and no problem mate ;)

Write wblock in the command line and press enter.

If it is right you can open the wblock drawing on her pc...

I can remove the password on my pc,so my friend can open the password-removed drawing on her pc, it turns out that i dont need to make a wblock. But is it tedious in this way, i mean it is best if my friend can simply double-click the drawing on her own pc and open it.
I am going to reinstall the whole os ,do you think it is feasible do have you any other advice ? Really Thanks for the help

another weird thing occurred to me that i can not save a dwg with password protectd after re-installation.
I save as the dwg and select security option ,after keying in the password,next time i open the same dwg file,it proceed without asking me to type in the password i initially set. |
Open the drawing on your pc...
right click on the screen go to options.
Look under the tab Open and Save.
Press on Security Options...
delete the dots (password)
Press apply and save it again...
The password is now deleted from the drawing... Try to open it on your friends pc...
Good luck!

If the problem exists on your friend's computer but not other computers, then it is a 'local' problem. I recommend first trying to 'repair' the installation. If that doesn't work, then Uninstall and do a clean install.

hi, i have repaired the registry and made a re-installation(firstly uninstall,then install from the very beginning), but still no result.

Hello...
I am pretty sure that it is a problem of AutoCAD on the pc of your friend...
If you open the drawings save them without a password... Can she open them when you did that?
Or make a wblock of it save the entire drawing and let her try to open it again...
Goodluck... |
hi,Rikky, i agree with you. I reinstall the sofeware and fail again on my friend's pc. and she told me that she once reinstalled the winxp and auto-cad,but did not fix the problem.
Currently, i am trying to reinstall the software to a different location other than c:\Programme Files.
Wait for my result....
