SLW210 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Short of checking for Viruses and Adware/Spyware, I can't think of anything. I take it you have already try the .bak file and the .sv$ files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LElkins Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I take it you have already try the .bak file and the .sv$ files. Yep, tried them. No joy. And virus scan, adware/spyware has not thrown anything up after a few on-demand full scans. Time for a drink I think. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumfatnhappy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 try dxfing it out...then back into a new dwg. It tends to filter out the unwanteds you're describing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 ... and it's not related to this thread: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19941 ? it's just odd that (unless I've read it wrong) there isn't actually a problem with the save - just the message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpednault Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 a user in my office just notified me of this message and after a brief google search i came across a discussion on the autodesk forums. autodesk doesn't know what it is and there is currently no solution. upon a short troubleshooting exercise on her machine I've noticed that it is directly related to hatching. go to the autodesk forums and look for thread ID=597064 in the Autocad Architecture discussion group.

Rhayes Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I am getting the same Error Message now two. Has this ever been resolved.??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCE Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 There have been some 'pretenders to the throne', but so far this kingdom has gone unconquered. Some suggest it is hatch related, whilst others say it isn't, I have tried every suggestion on the net, and a few of my own with no joy. Sorry.

syarn Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm with snoopy...have a architecture 2008 file now that seems to pop up the message hourly "warning: an error occured during save, we recommend that you recover on the drawing"....can not execute anymore saves until I run recover which does not find anything. when I purge it keeps finding a "material" named general.chip...I even did a purge of the regapps per lyn allen and it still pops this error. also I can not seem to find the thread mpednault mentions above either.. another weird thing....after recovering....the active layer changes from a-dims to 0 by itself....

CADgirl Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Is it possible to save it under a new file name? This has happened to me before and if I remember correctly it got rid of the problem for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syarn Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 thx. cadgirl...unfortunately saving as to a new name did not do the trick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 just to add to this issue - i have no hatches in my drawing and still get this problem. (could not saveas - recommend run RECOVER) only on one drawing, only on one computer. when i recover it sometimes disassociates all the dims - could it be a problem with dims?

schwartzbwithu Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I am getting this error fairly regularly, once or twice a week. Several fatal errors as well, which are almost better, since AutoCAD attempts to save recovery files (they are almost always garbage though). I am using Civil 3D 2014, Intel Xeon 3.5GHz, 32GB RAM, Win 7 Pro. AutoCAD is simply awful at handling memory and while the current versions are quite stable, as soon as you add an extension like Civil or Piping, you are subject to a whole litany of crashes and errors. The only fix for this is copy everything into a new drawing, or abandon any unsaved progress and close and reopen the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 run audit once and a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwartzbwithu Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Audit doesn't work at all for this error. Running audit before and after the error occurs, finds 0 errors in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Do you clean up your drawings on a regular basis using such commands as Overkill, -Purge (twice; once for Regapps and once for All) then run Audit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
