Recover severe damaged drawings

Hi,
Anyone know a service or a good tool to extract valid data from an corrupted
drawing ?
I tried recover , audit without any success , part of the drawing is
readable by LX-Viewer but how to get the data out into a new file ?

IntelliCAD will open MANY drawings that will choke AutoCAD. Saveas and
you're done.
(Depending on version, you may lose leader text associativity and a few
other like things,
but that's usually better than losing the whole file....)

 

Our company purchased IntelliCAD (An AutoCAD clone) just for the
purpose of drawing recovery, though that is not really what it is
marketed for. It is sold by a few vendors under different labels;

You can try the evaluation version of IntelliCAD 4 from CADopia here:
http://www.cadopia.com/ I have used it to recover some dwgs that
ACAD could not. It has an GUI that is similar to ACAD and
reads/writes dwgs and more.
Good luck,
MR

 

Try insert it as a block into a new drawing.

Furthermore, Microstation V8 will open some drawings that also choke
IntelliCAD - Not a cheap option though unless you already have access to the
program.
