help: 'failed to save document' warning

Hi,

SW2006 SP4 - I'm getting a 'failed to save document' warning when I try and
save a part. It was previously referenced in an assembly, which I closed in
order to save it as another part without messing with the references. Now I
canr save the part at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lee

 

thanks for the reply, unfortunatly I cant save to a local disk either, I
also tried svaing the part as a template and other things, but it hasn't
worked so far.....

 

Hello Lee-

Having you tried saving it as a copy? Have you tried exporting it as a
neutral file format?

Does this part have external references? If so, try breaking them all the
way down to the sketch level. Is there an external reference to a Plane? If
so, open this external reference, then try saving again.

Hi Devon,

Yeah tried most of what you said...but to no avail! No external references
etc.

In the end closed and remodelled. IT wasn't even saving the backup copy....

Oh well, glad it wasn't a rush job.

 

I have seen this when available memory is lower than the swap memory, I
normally quit all other applications, and even stop some processes in
Task Manager that I know are not needed and that usually helped.
