Question
QUESTION: i have a problem when open file. an error is !abg space h @410 : edwgobjectimproperty read.


ANSWER: I AM SORRY--
YOU MUST give me your experience, your field, and the exact AutoCAD you have -- I ask that in my profile.
My guess is that you are using ADT or some other variant of AutoCAD, but I have no idea which year release.
You did not tell me if you made the drawing, or someone else did.
In this case, i tried to look up the error message, but there are spelling mistakes in it.
You did not say that the drawing opens or fails to open.
You did not say that you tried the Recover command.
Since there are an infinite amount of error messages possible, you gave me no help at all.

I suspect this refers to some damaged object you or someone created in the file -- it is not a standard AutoCAD error.
Look for an object in the drawing with a name similar to the name in the message.

Sorry I cant say more than that. It is very frustrating to get questions with all the information missing. I would prefer to help you.

HI --
YOU MISSED THIS IN THE FIRST ANSWER
I suspect this refers to some damaged object you or someone created in the file -- it is not a standard AutoCAD error.
Look for an object in the drawing with a name similar to the name in the message.

You also failed to tell me whether you drew it or got it from someone.
Maybe it was a drawing containing only one block and nothing else.  If the block is bad, there is nothing left.

If the drawing is 0 kb after recovery, it is nothing, not there, no drawing.  If you did not save it after recovery, you should have a BAK file from the last time you saved.  Try renaming it and see if it will open.

But again, whatever was there, if it is now zero, there is no magic, start over.
