I was getting the “cannot find resource string number” xxxx “in resource AEccLand50” error in AutoCAD 2008. The dialog box popped up when I opened a drawing, and going through about 15 of these errors (the escape key helps), the drawing opened just fine. If I closed the drawing and re-opened it, the errors didn’t seem to appear – only when I closed AutoCAD and re-opened the drawing did the errors appear again.
I tracked the error down to a polyline that I had copyclipped from a file that I created in Civil 3D 2008, using the “Extract Objects from Surface” Utility. Erasing the polyline and purging the drawing (even a Regapp purge) didn’t help. But when I re-opened the drawing in Civil 3D and did a File:Export to AutoCAD, I could open the drawing in plain AutoCAD 2008 without any errors. Problem solved!
If I copyclipped the polyline from the original drawing to the fixed drawing, it would reproduce the errors, even if I later deleted the copyclipped polyline and purged the drawing. Lesson: don’t copyclip from Civil 3D to AutoCAD -always use the Export function.
Hope this helps!
Note: AutoCAD 2008 SP1 does not fix this problem. But wait! The latest Civil 2008 Object Enabler (dated October 2007) seems to!

Thank You for the in site.

When you go to file export it says, “export to autocad” what format do we use? We are using AutoCAD 08′. Do we use 2007 format? It does not give us an 2008 option. Thanks.
AutoCAD 2008 uses the AutoCAD 2007 file format (in other words, 2008 is backwards compatible with 2007). So use the 2007 format.
Sick, that was driving me crazy. Nice to have an easy fix!!
Options – Profile – reset
GRACIAS!!
