Wrong value of ExtMin

NirVid

Newbie
I have received a drawing (It seems I can't upload the file) from one of my clients. (I have removed geometry to maintain confidentiality. But it retains the essence of problem that I have). I have to write VB/A program that extracts data from this drawing. For that I need to know the extents of the drawing.
The system variable ExtMin shows a value of X (98331) which is greater than the X (92817) of min. point (left bottom corner of the border) of existing geometry.
I have tried everything (purge, overkill, audit, recover) but can't find a way to correct the value of ExtMin.

Assuming that this drawing is corrupt and can't be recovered, then I have another problem. How can I programatically find that the ExtMin value of this drawing is wrong and hence this drawing is corrupt.
