Description

The Draft Heal command heals problematic Draft objects found in very old files. It tries to recreate the old objects from scratch and transfer their properties to the new objects.

Usage

  1. Select one or more problematic objects.
  2. Go to the menu Draft → Utilities → Heal.

If no objects are selected then the entire document is scanned for errors; if no error is found the tool will do nothing.
