I have a proposal due later today that requires a block schematic integrated into a floor plan (which is much easier to do in AutoCAD). Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Hi Dave,

Please email the .S07 project file to us at techsupport@stardraw.com, or zip it and attach to a post, and we will investigate what in your drawing might be throwing the error.

For those following this thread, investigation of the file revealed an unexpected and invisible object in a custom symbol of a UDP.

Deleting the object solved the problem, although it is still a mystery as to how the object came to exist in the UDP symbol.

Problem resolved as Rob states. Awesome customer service from Stardraw as always! I would highly recommend the software to anyone but one of my competitors. BigGrin

Thanks Rob!
