software. It is a primarily binary format that not only stores but describes the content of 2D designs and 3D models as well as their associated metadata. It typically comprises several complete sections, which include the header, classes, object data [graphical and non-graphical objects], and handles. However, the writing process can sometimes be interrupted, leading to incomplete sections. Other times, the sections may not be fully copied during file transmittal/transfer, resulting in incomplete files. Or, the software may not be outdated, rendering it unable to open newer versions of the DWG format. When you attempt to open such files with AutoCAD, the software displays the ‘Drawing File is Not Valid’ error message.

I downloaded an autodesk software from a torrent which I installed on my PC , while generating the key from the X Force when I press the button for mem patch I get the message "You need to apply patch when licence screen appears." what to do please guide me.
Your best bet is too delete the file you downloaded and purchase a legal copy. Not only is what you are doing illegal, it can also be extremely harmful to your computer. Torrent files are notorious for carrying trojan viruses which can cripple your computer.
There are legal ways to get free access to Autodesk programs. Check out this article:

Thank you for your question. It is a blessing to you that you are very concerned with doing what is right during this holy month of Ramadhan. Excellence in matters of 'ibadah is always to be sought after and even your intention to do it right has already been a blessing on you. Here is my answer. According to the passage in the Quran that prescribes the fast in Ramadhan, it is prescribed for us in order to help us learn self restraint. In view of that I think that the best thing for you to do is to try and not smoke all on your own. Praying for the strength and fortitude to do that. If that is not possible, and you really feel you have given it your honest best try then get a doctor to prescribe a nicotine patch for you, it is ok. But it is not ok to take any inhalers between Fajr and Maghrib. Obviously the best thing is for you to quit smoking entirely as it is actually ***** based on the fact that it is a poison for your body. So why not take the time during Ramadhan to also pray for Allah's [swt] guidance in quitting smoking and continue not to smoke even after Ramadhan is over. Why not put that intention in your heart right now? Bless you for your intention to be as elegant as possible in your observance of Ramadhan, may Allah [swt] bring you success! And Allah knows best. Peace and Blessings, Salim
nicotine is an addictive and dangerous drug. You should definitely give up smoking anyway but, to be honest, the best way is to just stop dead. Finish you last *** late at night, then go to bed. Yes, I know, the firrst 2 weeks will be hell - but the next 50 years might be a lot better. So, I'm not getting involved with ritual matters, just common sense. anyway, remember, the government gets most of the money for each pack of cigarettes. I have to assume that like most of your sect, you don't like the British government - so, don't give them your money. [much nicer argument than just saying "give it up"].
