1527.k.pp.ke Error message when opening Xara v12 file

[Ron Duke]

Anyone know what this error message means/is? I'm working on a very detailed drawing. (9,722 KB)

I'm still allowed to work on the file after hitting "OK", but just wondered if I need to be concerned and if I need to change something in the drawing to avoid this error.

I quite often get spurious errors of which I've no idea what the error code means Ron. If it persists, try closing/reopening the xar file, if it's still there close/reopen Xara, & finally if needed reboot.

Thanks Eric.
I should have mentioned I've rebooted the computer a number of times since I first got the error message; not because of the error message, but just to run Windows Defender in Safe Mode.
So, closing the program and/or rebooting the computer doesn't stop the same error message from appearing each time I open that same file.

I guess it's probably something in the drawing I've done that's causing the error message. Just thought I'd take a shot at the possibility that someone might know what the error message means.

Ron, open the earliest backup you have. Same error?
If not, open the middle backup and progressively range into where the error occurs.
This might let you see what you added.

I've narrowed it down to this lady figure I have included in my drawing. She's a conglomurate of shapes grouped and clip viewed together.
I took her apart by removing all groupings and clip views, then gradually put her back together with fewer steps.

No more error. So, apparently I had too many unnecessary groupings and clip views.

Nope, still get the error on your attached file Ron. Suggest you send it to support for their comments

Sorry Eric,
I edited the post without changing to the corrected file. The error message has gone away.

Thanks for replying though.
