AutoCAD 2010 :: Student Username Is Not A Valid Short File Name
Sep 10, 2012
When a student launches AutoCAD they get error message: Error 1325. "username" is not a valid short file name.This is true for all students who have a username with 9 alphanumeric characters.
However, when I launch it with my student test account named "test" it will launch just fine. Also, it launches okay using my domain Admin and local Admin accounts.
Seeing as how it works with my student test account I don't think it's a permissions issue because that account mirrors the actual student accounts in regard to rights and restrictions.

I have a customer that is hvaing some issues with an error upon starting Autocad LT 2013.
The error code is attached.
The error is 1325 "%username%" is not a valid short file name
I have followed the resolution steps found here: [URL]
They did not resolve the issues.
I found the workaround listed here: [URL]
This works, but I will need to create a batch script that will write these registry entries automatically, which my customer does NOT want to do... They just want it to work.
The only way I have found to resolve the issues is to create a script that copies the Local Admin registry entries to the currently logged in user.
This is a domain user without local administrator access to the machine.
They have 3 other users that are working with no issues.

I don't know what happened, but my autocad file doesn't open up with a message "drawing file is not valid". I opened it at home once in Autocad 2012 - Student version and I open it at school usually every other day in Autocad 2012 - Educational version and it opens up properly at both places. But this tuesday I tried to open it, and it didn't open. I really need this file to be recovered because this drawing was complicated and I finished it. So, it will be a real pain to do it all over again plus the time I will waste. I am going to attach that file here.

I have just loaded the student version of AutoCAD 2012 onto my brand new HP Pavilion Notebook which has 8 GB of memory - Processor AMD A8-3530MX with HP Graphics 1.90 GHz - running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I have created a file in Adobe Illustrator which I converted to a vector image and exported it to AutoCAD. I have loaded the image and have cleaned it up. I am now trying to re-scale it and my session keeps freezing. When I look at the task manager I see that the program is not responding. I have ended the task many times now!

I have repeatedly attempted to export a simple drawing as a PDF and it doesn't take. I get an error message that the plot failed because there is nothing to plot (paraphrased).
Does export as a PDF not work or not in the Student version or?

I'm trying to get all our users to employ the ribbon and move away from toolbars and pull-down menus and one of the last hold-outs is finally giving it a try. Unfortunately, the titles on the ribbon panels is being cut short so he doesn't see the whole height of the title. See the attached PNG.

We have three old drawings (saved in the year 2009) that we are trying to open with AutoCAD 2013 and we keep getting the message "Drawing File is not valid".
I have done the following:
Files do have a file size. Sometimes, files have 0 KB size, but not these ones.
We tried to open the files using AutoCAD 2013, AutoCAD Architecture 2012 and DWG TrueView (downloaded today!) and in all instances we get the same message.
We tried recovering and the message is "unable to recover the drawing file"
We tried inserting as a block and, in the command line we get "...was created by an incompatible version of AutoCAD *Invalid*" Again, the file is genuinely older than our current AutoCAD.

I have recently acquired AutoCAD 2012, I have a book called "AutoCAD 2000 Bible", and I was wondering if the contents of this book (based on AutoCAD 2000) can guide me through AutoCAD 2012 as well.

This drawing appears visible in preview, but all type of AutoCad versions (full, LT from 2006 to 2013) claim it is unvalid.
It may have heavy gradients in it.Would there be any way to recover this file?

I have AutoCAD 2010 and the drawing was saved in 2010 as no one in my company has a higher version. also unfortunately i am not able to post the drawing as it is part of a current project.
So no matter how i open the drawing it prompts me with drawing file not valid.

I'm trying to make an application that would take a drawing(dwg) and convert it to pdf. Since I can do it directly in autocad 2013, i presume that there should be a function in the API, that i could use to do the same. So far, i tried with AcadDocument.export(filename, FileExtension, AcadSelectionSet) with no luck. I cannot put PDF as a valid file extension.
Here's my code
Public sub SaveToPDF(ByVal psfilename As String)
Dim oAutocad As AutoCAD.AcadApplication = New AutoCAD.AcadApplication()
Dim oAcadDoc As AutoCAD.AcadDocument = oAutocad.Documents.Open(psfilename, True)
Dim sFolder As String = psfilename.Substring(0, psfilename.LastIndexOf("") + 1)
[code]....

I have a mixed environment where I have some users are opening .dwg files with DWG TrueView 2011 and others with AutoCad LT 2012. I am able to open the file immediately with DWG TrueView 2011, but with AutoCad LT 2012 they display an error message of "Drawing File Not Valid". In order to view the file I need to go into File>Open> Choose the file located on a mapped drive and select "Open Read-Only". Is there a way this can be changed where I can automatically open files as read only? I have changed the permissions to the share to allow full control to a particular user for testing purposes and it appears that the files are not in read only when examining the properties of it.

Our staff can not get this file open. It says "Drawing file is not valid". It was emailed to them. He tried sending over as a 2000 drawing then tried it as 2007. We have AutoCad 2010 and 13 available to us, but no luck.
"Attached is a 2007 version of the same dwg. We have an Autodesk dwg viewer that we use here when we are sent a dwg and so far I have been able to open every file I have sent you with our viewer, so I am not sure why it is not working on your end. What I did though was opened the drawing in our autodesk viewer and then saved it from that."

I received a dwg file from my architect through e-mail. When I open it in Autocad LT 2004, a window pops up stating, "Drawing file is not valid." I forwarded the e-mail on to my boss with the same file and it opens perfectly on his version of Autocad LT 2004.
The only difference between our computers is that he is running Windows 7 and I am running Windows XP. The architect is running Windows 7.

I have a whole folder of drawings that if I try to access I get "Drawing file is not valid".
I have read a bunch of posts and have tried the following:
1. I have tried to insert the drawing into a new blank drawing but nothing happens
2. I have searched all of our drives for BAK and SV$ files and have found none
3. This past summer our team did a clean-up of the drives and deleted all of the BAK files
4. I have tried to copy, send, or print the file and get the same error message
This file contains the base plans for a building we have that is XREFed into our furniture, electrical, security, etc. plans.

One message is "Pain't cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file or it's format is not currently supported." Couldn’t display DSC-0023.jpg because a suitable graphics importer could not be found.

I'm making a short animation on 3ds max design, it's supposed to be about 10 seconds, and I can't seem to find where I can control the animation speed. I render out the frames to AVI format, (abot 250 frames) but when I play the animation in VCL or any other mediaplayer, it seems to lack length completely - the timeindicator shows 00.00.00. I attached just a test animation, it's there but something's wrong..

I am trying to write a rule for restricting save rights to a .ipt or .iam file. I am just starting out with ilogic and have very basic coding experience.What I would like is for the rule to read the windows login username and depending on the result (User A) displays a radio message box asking if if the file should be restricted.
If the file is to be restricted, then the rule should allow only User A to save the file. Hopefully that makes sense.I have posted the code I have so far. I don't know how to get the windows username so have substituted this with username for the moment.
If Username = "User A" ThenRestrictAccess = InputRadioBox("Should this file be restricted?", "Yes", "No", RestrictAccess, Title := "Restrict Access")End IfIf RestrictAccess = True And Username = "User A" ThenThisDoc.SaveElseThisDoc.Document.SaveAsEnd If

I have a picture, I select save and chose png No what what name i pick PSP tells me "The file name is not valid" If i chose to save as TIF it saves right away. If I copy a png file in the directory and click on the file, and then click on that file in the save as dialog, PSP asks me if i want to overwrite, if i say yes then it saves the file: From then on i can save without getting this error message.

I just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 and for the most part love it. I have run into a very serious problem when it comes to saving. I am on Mac 10.6.8 and have a server that I save all my files too. In CS6 anytime I try to save something to the server's HDD I get the error below,
"Could not save as “avi_horizontal_logo.jpg” because the file name was not valid"
Now, the file name is valid, obviously. I can load the file into cs6 but whenever I try to save over or as a copy I get this error. I still have CS5 installed and have gone back and verified that I can save files to my server via CS5 since coming across the error in CS6. Additionally I have no problems saving to my server via Illustrator or In design
This issue is not occurring on one version on only one workstation either. I have both Design Premium (on 2 computers) and Design Standard (on 1) and all three are replicating this issue but the issue is non-existent in CS5.

I am a high school art teacher and this happened to one of my students. He was working on a PSD file, vectoring an image when PS6 quit unexpectedy. Now when we try to open the file there is an error message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." It still has the .psd extension. We are using Mac OS10.8.2. I tried opening it in Illustrator, Preview and Graphic Coverter without success.

I get a message stating that "Valid workspace file not found at the path specified" I know the fix for this is to hold down F8 while starting up to reset it. The thing is that I set up so many specific things to my work that it takes me hours to get it back to the way I want it (i.e. Default font, color, menu layout etc.).
I can save this default in a separate location, and load it in should I get this error message again, thereby avoiding having to set it all up from scratch.

I have recently purchased a new desktop under WIN 7 as well as Adobe Creative Suite CS6.My first internal hard disk is 2 TB, the second one installed is from my old PC, 250 GB.
I am getting this error when trying to save a file over an existing file using the “Save” command.The message is wrong, because the filename IS valid. This error is persistent.This error does not occur when doing the same action on my second internal hard disk.This error happens on files larger than about 1MB in weight.
What happens is that the original file over which I try to do the ”Save” command gets corrupted and lost.If I don't use the “Save as” command to save my work under a different name, my work is lost.The same problem occurs with both PS CS6 versions, 64 Bit and 32 Bit.
