An unknown erorr occurred while accessing P:\

"An unknown erorr occurred while accessing P:\..." shown on my screen
when I save a large (19k KB) assembly drawing.

Great appreciated for any ideas,

1, Does p:\.... exist?
1a, Can you explore to that location?
1b, Is there enough disk space for saving?
1c, Do you have write access to that folder or sub folder?
2, Is there an original file in that location, with that name, which is read
only?
2a, Can you save the file to another name?
3, Are you using Pdmworks or another document system, where you do not have
write access?

Just a few suggestions to help you on your way

 

Do you have the 3 Gb switch set, but not a user value set?

This is not uncommon. I have usually seen it with drawings. It may
mean a corrupt file. Hope you have backups set to 2.

Thanks!
A local SW thec support says this issue appeared in SP0 of SolidWorks
2007 but was listed as 'fixed' after SP1. Currently SP4.0 is the
latest release. Do you think this is the problem? I'm working on to
updated it to SP4.
Thanks, again!

Margaret,

I've seen that kind of thing a lot farther back that SP1 or 2007. My
advice is twofold:

1. Set your backups to 2. Setting to 1 will only get you two corrupt
files usually.

2. Clean your temp out and defrag regularly.
