When opening a file, HyDraw CAD continuously loads and never opens the file

Problem: When opening a file, the blue loading bar appears at the bottom of the HyDraw CAD canvas, simulating that the file is opening:

Ultimately, the file never opens and HyDraw CAD needs to be aborted.

Solution: This is due to a corrupt entity within the file or a corrupted file itself. In order to work around this, follow the below steps:

1. Use Open in HyDraw CAD.

2. Select the drawing and in the Open drop-down select "Partial Open".

3. Partial open dialog pops up, select "Unload all XRefs" and click Load All > Open.

4. Drawing will open.

5. Save the drawing and open it again. It will open fine.
