paul.robinson Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 ERROR message: One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created. Hi Guys I am using AutoCAD 2009 LT. I am having trouble saving my updates to an existing drawing. When I try to save to the network I get the above error message. However I can save straight to my desktop. I also have a problem that whenever I open a file it opens a read only copy. Any suggestions? Let me know if I need to give any more details. Regards, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 When you open a drawing is it from the network? Have you spoken to anyone in IT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.robinson Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes the drawing if from the network. I have raised the issue with work but a solution hasn't been identified yet. I just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORBER Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have just experienced the same problem (getting the same exact error message) and I haven't been able to figure the problem out as well. This is what I know though, it seems that I get the same error message when I try to save a new file that I have opened through qnew - the template set to open. Now if I were to just open up the template file itself through the network I don’t get the error message. I thought maybe it was something with the template file, so I re-directed it to a different template file and the same problem occurs. I don’t know if this is an AutoCAD glitch or something else. Does anyone else have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panavia22 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hi Guys Just had a similar problem and found the solution to my problem was The original file was on a usb memory stick I had removed the memory stick to transfer some other files elsewhere so when I tried to save the cad file to its original location the original location of the file was missing. When the usb stick was returned to the pc the file could find its original location and saved itself properly Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjonp Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've seen this problem as well in '09. The only thing that has worked for me was to saveas to a previous version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSCGOLF Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I just expeienced this problem too, in 2010 C3D... any solutions? I was adding a plotter thru "Manage Plotters" and tried to leave the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kykat Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm experiencing a similar problem when trying to save changes: "unable to save in (network directory). Saved in temp file". this started about 2 weeks ago when i received a file that was created from Autocad 2010. I had created 2 drawing files, but 50 .tmp files were created from these. A real nuisance. Now, when working in a file created in Autocad LT 2006, i have experienced the same, within the past 2 days. Other tech people suggested upgrading. Well, in this economy, that may not be feasible. Are there any cheap fixes? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Drawer Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi! I have tryed several solutions on this problem, the one that seems to work best is to do the "purge" command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeScott Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 It gives you the error because it can't save to the location specified. You said it DOES save locally to your desktop. Check with your Network IT people to ensure you have read and WRITE permissions in the specified network location. You can test it by going to the directory directly (through "my network" ) and try to right-click on the interior of the folder, and select "New" and make a folder. If you can make the folder, you have write permissions, if not, you need to get permission. It's not about trust, it's about permitting you to do your job.

bodejodel Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I had the same problem just now. Saving it locally first and then to the network solved it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samlic Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yea, back up the audocad files, delete the folder, create a new folder. it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhb83 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 file ---> drawind utilities ---> Audit ---> (fix errors) Yes.... Runnig Audit on the drawind fixed it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klem Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I had the exact same error message - turns out the h-drive I usually save to was full. I made some space and the prob was solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relight Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The correct answer is the latter, the disk space was full, try another location to save the file. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanneh Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Audit was what I was going to suggest... My 2010 (just upgraded to 2012, so a whole new set of problems) was doing this to me every time I "Stationed" a line; was unable to save, told me "no file has been created". But if I ran Audit and said Yes, fix errors, it would then save my drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkovkajevs Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi, I had the same problem, but I found a solution. Just save the file with extension DXF. Then open the DXF file and save it back to DWG. Or try to export the file, but then it will bind all references which is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopezpm Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 file ---> drawind utilities ---> Audit ---> (fix errors) Yes....Runnig Audit on the drawind fixed it for me.

karlkarpuk Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Came here to say the Audit --> fix errors --> yes worked for me as well. Using the Autocad Civil 3D 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
