"Error reading surf_head for VRT file" while generating profiles

Within the context of its era, which version of AutoCAD was the BUGGIEST?

Friday, 23 June 2006

After sampling existing ground, going to PROFILES / CREATE PROFILE / EXISTING PROFILE yields an error, "Error reading surf_head for VRT file".

Workarounds: This bug seems to be drawing specific rather than project specific or user specific. There are several theories in Autodesks discussion groups. The only time that I encountered it, I was able to correct it by deleting that drawing files CGX and DFM files.

First Appeared: Land Desktop 2 (2000)
Status as of 2008: Still occurs
Status as of 2009: (unknown - please email with any info)
