The AUDIT Command

Audit Your AutoCAD drawings and fix errors using AUDIT Command Hi Everyone,

Sometimes, when we are working on a large drawing it is populated with entities like line, circle, text, dimensions, blocks XREF's etc etc the database behind the drawing keeps getting heavier. The heavier the drawing the complexer the database, so are the chances of getting a drawing corrupted or damaged.

Audit command will help. Periodically, we should check the health of our drawing. Audit command will check the drawing for its integrity. It will provide you the description of the errors and recommendations to correct them. We can also specify if we want the program to fix the errors.

Here is an example :















Related system variables is AUDITCTL set the value to 1 if you wish to have a written audit file. This will create an .adt file that can be opened with notepad.


Now, despite doing everything, sometimes due to the program crash or system failure the drawings sometimes get damaged or corrupted. How to recover them, Read here.

 Thanking You,
