    I saw this once a few days ago but ignored it. But it happened again today.

    There is a file that is automatically being created within the job folder
    that I am working from. It is not the typical temporary file with the tilde
    "~" symbol.

    The name of this file is always "CreateProjection_Problem" with no extension
    and is 14 KB. I tried to open it in Notepad but it is just code. Anyone
    ever seen this or know what it is?

    Is there a macro feature inside a SW document perhaps?

  3. A company that does some contract design work for us mentioned seeing this
    last Friday. Searching in my CAD directory, I've got one from late February,
    3 in May, and 6 in June. They range in size from 3 KB to 715 KB. There
    aren't any in non-CAD directories, although Explorer has crashed several
    times as I try and search the rest of my computer. The other SW users here
    also have a few, primarily in SW folders.

    No macro features. Never have used them.

    Same here. Both times were in CAD folders. I did a quick scan of all of my
    CAD folders and did not find any more of these mysterious files. If it
    happens again I will call my VAR. Until then, if anyone else knows what
    they are.....
