Has anyone had this message when they are trying to plot? I am getting this when trying to print my second plot. This is happening with AutoCAD 2000 and I have installed service pack 1 and 2 and plot update and am still getting this message. AutoCAD closes after clicking "ok" and prompting to save the drawing.
 
The autodesk knowledge base has this, I do not know if this will help or not...

Issue
You move dimensions and then try to undo the action, and the following error message is displayed:

INTERNAL ERROR: !U:\global\rsc\ObjectDbx\DB\IMPsrc\dbspace.cpp@491:eWasOpenForWrite



Solution
This problem occurs if the dimensions contain user-defined arrowheads and the drawing was created in AutoCAD® 2000i or earlier.

To prevent the error from occurring:

Open the drawing in AutoCAD 2002.
Before you make any changes to the dimensions, open the Dimension Styles dialog box and redefine the arrowheads.

 
I searched the knowledge base for the exact error that I have on the subject line of my post and did not find anything. The error that you found on the knowledge base other than the path, is it the same error as what I am getting? If I am reading your post correctly will I have to upgrade to AutoCAD 2002 to fix the error or can I save my drawing in AutoCAD 2002 and still use my version of 2000?I have AutoCAD 2000 not AutoCAD 2000i)
