AutoCAD 2018.1 – Product Shuts down When using DXL File With XREF
Your AutoCAD 2018.1 based product shuts down unexpectedly when you work with DXF files containing xrefs that have certain attributes.
Causes:
This issue occurs only if you have installed the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update.
Later versions should not be affected.
Solution:
- Verify that the 2018.1 Update is installed. The About dialog box will display this version as 2018.1 – O.107.0.0.
If you do not have Update 2018.1, do not install this hotfix.
- Close your AutoCAD-based product.
- Navigate to the product folder. For example: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2018
(Substitute the applicable product name.)
- In this folder, rename the acdb22.dll file to acdb_old.dll.
- Unzip the attachment in this article and copy the correct file to the location where you just renamed the acdb22.dll file:
