I have the subscription edition (18.03.00.06 SE) and no Repair menu option - just Save as Copy (with no drawing file open) to activate "repair".

I just tried using it on a corrupt old file. It claims to clean up everything, but still gives me an internal diagnostic fault "line 43 from Error 736". Does anyone know what that means before I decide whether this file is worth salvaging?

I have tried using the repair utility on several files sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I don't have time to try to chase anything down right now.

There is an error in the Drawing Repair routine related to deleting invalid entities in symbols. If the first entity, or all entities, in the symbol are invalid, choosing to delete them can corrupt the symbol definition.

This will be corrected in the next update to 18.04.00.
