Solutions:

1.
Cause:

• Bad blocks in the drawing, possibly related to sprinkler blocks, 3D sprinkler blocks

 

• Underground pipe was drawn in the Mains layer (SPRKDAT1).
Solution:

• Erase and re-insert the system boundary

 

• Close the drawing, start a new drawing with a template then type RECOVER in the command prompt.  Navigate to the problem drawing and let it run through and fix errors its errors.  IMHO, a RECOVER is more thorough than the AUDIT command

 

• Run the AutoCAD PURGE command so no blocks remain which need to be purged out, then run RBL to rebuild the layers. [GAB 10/26/17] gma 11-17-15

 

• Change underground pipe to be in the SPRKDAT3 layer.
