AutoCAD Architecture :: Files Do Not Save And Lose Existing File With No Warning

Oct 11, 2011

For the past couple of months we have noticed we are loosing files on the save command with no warning or notice.  When the drawing is saved and then closed we discover that occasionally the file did not save and the original version of the file is lost.  Sometimes the original version gets saved as a bak file but not always.  No warning message shows up to inform that the command was not completed correctly, it looks like the save took place.

Recently we switched to Windows 7, 64 bit machines.  All three machines this has occured on match and are saving back to 2010 version.  One of the machines is running a trial version of Architecture 2011, the other two are running network licenses of Architecture 2012 with Service Pack 1.  The files being lost are all located on a server in the same folder structure, not in the same folder.  That server is new and has some sort of mirroring set up to image files to multiple locations? This phenomenon has only been noticed to occur on saving a file from Architecture.  We do save other file types to the same folders and have not noticed any going missing.  To my knowlege the files never show back up (one of our IT staff suggested the mirroring might be causing a delay in the file showing up in the folder.)

AutoCAD Architecture :: File Will Lose Data After Working In File

Oct 25, 2012

I have upgraded to ACA 2013 and I have had nothing but problems and I want to know if I am alone on this. I have uploaded AEC Section Display and Tag Scale Hotfix, URL....

AutoCAD Architecture 2013 Service Pack 1, URL....

AutoCAD Architecture 2013 & AutoCAD MEP 2013 Content Browser Migration Hotfix. URL....

ACA2013 was released and I have had it on the desk for some time and finally I got the nerve to load the upgrade. This I did in accordance with the instructions. The upgrade went well.

Additional problems with my working files involved, the file will lose data while working in the file, the program will do strange things to the file like I would lose data while in layout tab within a viewport and the data would still be present in the model tab. I have lost printer setup files only to reopen the drawing and find these have returned.I have lost layout tabs completely. I would reload another menu and they would return. I was speaking to another person comparing Autocads and his had the layout tabs and mine did not.I have zoom scaling problems within the layout viewport. I use to be able to zoom, scale, 1/20xp for 1:20 scale and it would not recognise the command.I was informed via Autodesk to load the service pack Autocad_2013_sp1.14_64, this would not work then I was informed to load the service pack Autocad Architecture _2013_sp1_64 which it did successfully. Still had problems with ACA2013. have situations where the shell command will not work ie punch a hole within the object selected.I have changed from the working model tab to layout tab and back to model tab only to have the view change for no reason ie it will go into (+)(custom view)(wire frame) without selecting it.I have lost data, (part of the actual drawing) within my working drawing simply by using the boeleon subtract command.I have situation when you use the push pull command and nothing happens and then you reopen ACA afresh and try it again and this time it will work.I have email Autodesk in the US and it got alll TO HARD for them and they have abandoned me.

AutoCAD Architecture :: File Permissions - Can't Save Files

Apr 10, 2008

Product: AutoCAD Architecture 2008

We are trying to secure our drawings using regular NTFS folder/files permissions on a Windows 2003 server. The goal is to let users save changes to dwg files but NOT delete files or move them. We are trying to prevent accidental deletion of files.

We have created a group which is assigned all rights on files except "Delete". Unfortunately, this does not work because upon saving a file, ACAD deletes the original file of a network drive and recreates it with new/updated one. AutoCAD requires the "Delete" trigger.

Is there a method or a work around we could use to aid us on the task? All other programs like Creative suite, Office applications, various graphic programs work wonderfully with the permissions in place but not AutoCAD Architecture 2008. From what i've read this issue dates back to the dates of AutoCAD 14.

Our files are very valuable and there are LOTs of them. We can't be the only firm that values their files and not have dealt with this issue.

Photoshop :: File Name Truncation Warning On Save For Web

Apr 5, 2012

Image (Line drawing). Save for Web (*gif). Receive following warning: "Some names of the files being saved will be truncated to 31 characters for compatibility with Macintosh browsers. To change your filename compatibility options, click the Optimize pop-up menu, choose Output Settings, and select Saving Files."
 
I could not find the Optimize pop-up menu. Therefore, I did not do this step.After save, I simply went to the appropriate folder and changed the file name to what I originally wanted (i.e., essentially correcting the truncation).

Photoshop :: Action To Save File Overwrites Existing File

Nov 18, 2012

I did a search around, and did not find the answer.  Basically I have attempted to create an action in Photoshop CS6 which will save a file in the tiff format after i crop the image.  I want the file name to be the name of the image (which is supposed to change depending on name of the image) like this:

1280x720_MGXXX.tiff, where, in my case the XXX represents DIFFERENT NUMBERS.
 
I want to apply the action to one image at a time. Each image has a different number (name). I record the action, add the 1280x720 text to the image name in the Save dialog.  I am saving the image in a different folder from the source file.  The source file name is _MGXXXX.tiff (again XXXX is a number like 2220...).
 
When I run the action on a file, say "_MG2221.tiff" it adds the 1280x720, and saves the file.  When I apply the action on the next file (_MG2222.tif), the action overwrites the existing file, 1280x720_MG2221.tif, with the image.  The action always uses the name I entered in the Save dialog!!  I think I was able to do this in CS4 and CS5. 

I want to be able to open a file, crop and adjust it, and then save in a diff location with 1280x720 pretended to the file name.

AutoCAD Architecture :: How To Disable Warning Notices

Dec 12, 2011

I want to know how to disable some of these pointless warning notifications.  For example if I move something to a layer that is 'off' I get a notice that I am moving to a layer that is off and I then have to drag my mouse up and click 'ok'.  I have been drafting for over 20 years and I know this and do not need or want this dialog  Also, in the layer manager same issue, 95% of the time when I turn the active layer off I WANT to turn it off  I do NOT need to waste my time telling the program, yes I want to turn it off or no I do not.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Blank Yellow Warning Message?

Aug 21, 2012

Immediately after closing AutoCAD Architecture 2012 or AutoCAD MEP 2012 a yellow warning triangle with a black exclamation point displays. This happens every time AutoCAD is closed. However it is isolated to a few systems all of which were installed using the same deployment as the other systems that do not display this warning. AutoCAD performs as expected but displays this warning when closed.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Keep Getting Warning Message In Command Line?

Oct 8, 2010

I was using 2009 Architecture. I kept getting a message in the command line: "WARNING: Xdata tag 100 is missing" like hundred to 1000 times and while its scrolling through this same message in the command line I can not do anything but wait for it to finish. Not sure if a recent windows update has anything to do with it. I am using XP Pro. I have a Dell with 3GB of ram and a Radeon X300/X550/X1050 video card and am running dual monitors. I have an upgrade to Archtiecture 2010 so rather than reinstall 2009 I installed 2010. Unfortunately, same problem. In 2009 I seem to remember that it was more random. In 2010, it pops up when I do an xref reload.

Photoshop :: How To Change Save-to-web Action To Not Overwrite Existing File

AutoCAD Inventor :: Changing Template Files In Existing Part File?

Sep 1, 2011

We just installed the new version of 2012 Product Design Suite.  I've spend many hours creating great little ilogic dialog boxes to populate iproperty fields using custom iproperties and then automatically place this data on the .idw file when the view is placed on the new drawing.  All works great when the part is created with my new 2012 part template and then placed on my new 2012 idw template.  The trouble is with parts that were created with 2011 Inventor.  Obviously, the old template does not have the ilogic data built into it.  Is there a way to upgrade/migrate the part template file from 2011 to 2012 on an existing part?

I think I'm asking for a miracle here, but I have an assembly with 40-50 parts that I created in 2011 and now need to build the idw files for them and would really like to be able have the customized iproperties added to the existing part files.

Photoshop :: Image Lose Smoothness On Save

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Warning / An Error Occurred During Save

Nov 16, 2012

Every time I export a C3D drawing to ACAD (command: _AecExportToAutoCAD20xx), I get this "error message"

There does not seem to be a real problem because I can open the exported drawing in vanilla AutoCAD OK, (although I do still get a proxy notice..?).

A few other older threads about this reveal no solution or confirmation that this dialog is a bug.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Active Project - Open File And Save Are Slow?

Aug 7, 2013

I am having an issue when opening and saving files is very slow when I have a project active in the Project Navigator.

If I have an active project, and I open a file via Project Navigator or Windows Explorer, the process hangs for 15-20+ seconds at the 'Opening C:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ac$' point, where it is creating the temporary file.

If I 'Close the current project' in the project browser and open the same file via Windows Explorer, the process takes less than a second.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 / 2012 - Warning - An Error Occurred During Save

May 3, 2012

why I'd get this error when doing an Export to AutoCAD 2010/2007/2004...?  It seems to be innocuous, and irrelevant, but it's disturbing none-the-less.  I haven't been able to identify any reason why it appears, and all drawings seem to work normally, with no problems.  AUDITs turn up no errors.  So I've just been ignoring this message, but it's distracting.  And it doesn't always appear...  although I haven't been able yet to identify what causes it to appear in some drawings, and not others.  I think it only ever happens when there's an XREF, but not sure...  (Maybe when an XREF is in an older version of C3D/LDD/AutoCAD...?)

Lightroom :: Change File Format For Existing Library Files?

Mar 17, 2014

Lightroom v5.3: I'm a long time DNG file user for Pentax and Nikon cameras. I recently discovered that about 300 of my RAW Nikon files already imported into the Library are NEF files instead of DNG files as my other 5700 files are.
 
I know that I made an error somewhere along the way, but- Is there an easy solution to converting those existing NEF files to the DNG format?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2014 Stp File Exports Lose All Colors When Opened In Altium

Is there a known issue with inventor 2014 and STP file exports loosing their colour settings?

We export PCB's and assemblies to Altium PCB CAD tools as step files and have just noticed that the colours don't travel well at the moment! The assemblies just end up light grey/white. I tried an earlier stp export dated 2011 and that opened fine in Altium but not any 2014 exports.

VideoStudio :: Proxy Files Lose Linking?

Mar 2, 2012

I prefer using the proxy workflow for fullhd editing because it allows fast timeline scrolling. My video rushes are all on external disks. Creating a project and proxies is no problem (takes some time). The problem however is, when I re-open VS with a project for which I created the proxies before, while the related external disk is not active (removed), I still get the tumbnails in the VS library, but I lose the proxies even after the external disk is being restarted. The strange thing is that the proxies (.upx files) are still in my proxy folder (local disk) when opened in Windows, but the VS proxy file manager doesn't see them anymore. Is this normal?

Illustrator :: Lose Image Links To Other Files?

Mar 7, 2014

I have an illustrator file which contains linked images. I want the images to link to images in a different folder on a different hard drive. They are the same images, but just in a different location.
 
I am thinking of temporarily changing the name of the first hard drive (which the images are currently linked to), in order to break the original image links. That way, I can re-open the illustrator file, and when it asks me to find the links, at that point I can direct illustrator towards the links on my other hard drive.
 
I will then save the file with the images linking to the images on the new hard drive.
 
At that point I will re-name the first hard drive back to it's original name.Will all of my other illustrator files loose their links if I temporarily change the name of my hard drive, and then change it back to it's original name?
 
(I have used this technique by changing folder names, and it has worked. But I was afraid to change the name of my Hard Drive because there are a guzillion files on it, and I can't afford for my illustrator files to lose any of their links.)

Mudbox :: (save Warning) Truly A Retarded Feature

May 30, 2012

i hadn't used mudbox in a while and get busy right away sculpting and painting, save my file, keep on working, and after some time forget to save again... here comes a little red blinking "button" (so i assumed) telling me to save, not just a single time, but several times. I see that i roll over and click it as each time i do it stops blinking... assuming that it does indeed SAVE the freaking thing. Not too much of a crazy assumption i believe since it's 2012 and after decades of dealing with crashes and corrupt files or lost work, every single piece of software i use in production do have at least an auto-save system.

AutoCAD LT :: 2010 Completely Deleting Files Without Warning?

It has happened three times without warning and it always happens to files I've been working on for awhile and have opened and closed multiple times. Is there any way to recover these files and how do I keep it from happening again?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Warning If Saving As STL File In 2011?

Paint Shop Pro :: Lose File Switching Between Workspaces?

Dec 1, 2011

I was working on a file in the 'edit' workspace and decided to go to the "adjust" workspace and lost the file. Is that normal for it to close the file when moving to another workspace?

I do see that if I have the organizer opened to the folder with the file in it, it stays. This seems cumbersome though to have to open the organizer and find the file as opposed to just going to the Open folder button at the top of the Edit workspace to get the file. This is also nice because the Open button remembers where I was last whereas the organizer makes me start from scratch to drill down to the appropriate folder.
