: Specific creation or modification commands (such as array counts, hatch patterns, or segment divisions) limit the number of objects you can generate at one time.

Since the error often prevents you from interacting with the dialog itself, you must fix the invalid variable using the command line:
In short, AutoCAD is waiting for you to enter a (no decimals, no letters, no negatives) between 1 and 20,000.
: Opening a file created in a non-Autodesk application can sometimes result in "forged" DWG formats where variables like VIEWRES are saved with illegal values (like 0) that AutoCAD itself would not normally allow.
This means a field on one of the tabs (most likely the VIEWRES setting on the Display tab) is storing an invalid number. The error is triggered when you try to exit, as AutoCAD performs a final validation of all settings.
Memorize which commands want integers (counts) and which want reals (distances).
The prompt is specific to a few key commands. Knowing which one you are using will help you find the right fix.
