AutoCAD Architecture :: Files Lost When Saving To Network From A Windows 7 PC / Laptop
May 10, 2012
Recently we had a user pose the inquiry regarding lost files from users when trying to save files to the network from the windows 7 computers. They would look and act like they were being saved to the mapped drive from the network but when they returned the next morning the work was gone.
<Verified environment and settings were all within specifications and supported>
I have a home network with windows 7 on a desktop and laptop. Adobe Elements 9 works fine on the desktop but when i try to print from the laptop a box appears saying 'could not complete your request because an error occured while printing' All other programs print fine from the laptop, Paint, Word, PDFs. Have uninstalled and cleaned registry before reinstalling, But still cant print with Adobe.
I’m having problems editing my pipe network in Civil 3D 2012, as you can see below some of the network parts have all the grips after editing while some of the pipes can only be edited once before I lose the grips. I have tried purge/audit, recover and the bug fix for sp1 that caused pipes to disappear.
I am having a problem saving files to a Windows 2003 server from PS7 error message of "could not save as serverfolderfilename because disk is full". No problems encountered with PS6 or PS-CS. As the server is in excess of 3 Terabytes I don't think it is a hardware problem. More that it is a problem with PS7 or Windows 2003.
The laptop I had crashed and I bought a new one. Windows 7. Trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4 onto it, but getting error message, "The installer database is corrupt. Contact customer support."
I contacted customer support and was told they no longer offer phone support for CS4.I know I'm going to have another issue, because this is an upgrade version and when I first installed it, I had to contact customer support because I was upgrading from an educational version.
Don't bother checking the specs on my profile, as this post is about another computer.I just have two questions for now to try and minimize time to correct the problem.
Question 1: Can the VSPro X2 Windows 7 compatibility patch be installed before installing the program?
Question 2: Should compatibility mode be tried before installing a compatibility patch? Or should the compatibility patch be installed first?
Background: I have Service Pack 1 and have already downloaded the VS Pro X2 compatibility patch for Windows 7 (UVS125_Win7_Patch.exe [URL]
I bought VSP X2 a couple of years ago for daughter( living in another location) using Win XP at the time. Now she has Windows 7 notebook, and when she tries to install VSP X2 she gets an error something like this: "application incorrect...xstrace.exe" (I am in process of trying to get exact error message) Device information: Will get if needed.Program version: VSPro X2Patches/updates that have been installed. Daughter has SP1 but not installed yet because she cannot install the main program. As noted above I have downloaded and sent her the Windows 7 compatibility patch, but need to know if she can install it before installing the program.
I recently bought a Dell 1720 laptop that had such a poor display that I returned it. Can anyone here recommend a good Windows laptop for running Photoshop and Illustrator.
I'm having a problem with the files saved from Inventor, regardless of type. I have no problem saving new files or opening files, however, any time I try and save changes to a file, inventor crashes. Also if I try and move a file, windowes explorere gets stuck at "descovering items." Renaming a file crahses explorer.
I am working with autocad architecture 2011 for magicad. After some days a built panel under home tab missing. I check through CUI , ribbon and expanded home 2d/3d panel. I cannot get(see) build panel. how can I get the lost build panel.
I was workingona project with autocad 2011, but i lsot the original menus, Ihave been obliged to use the costomed menu. I knew how to use Autocad 2000 and ADT 2002,
In ACA2012, we cannot use the Publish command to overwrite an existing DWF file of same name, for instance you publish a set, then need to re-publish and overwrite the earlier version. We get an error message that the DWF is currently open in another program...when it clearly is not open anywhere and Design Review is closed. We have several servers running different versions of microsoft server, but the results are the same to any of them.
We do NOT get an error message when publishing/overwriting to the C: drive, only a network path. Also, if we use the Print command instead of Publish, well it only does the current page but it DOES allow the networked DWF to be overwritten.
I am puzzled by what could be the difference in that Publish will not overwrite a networked DWF file yet Print will?
This has never happened to us in previous versions of ACA or Design Review.
I use 2013. The xref pallet was docked but has disappeared. Also, when I type 'xref' at the command line, the xref dialog box does not appear. How do I get them back?
Problem with lost Xref path when attaching a file using relative pathing? We are using Autocad 2010 and Windows 7. If we attach the same file using Windows XP the problem does not happen.
I lost my dimension text on all my drawings when I converted with Windows 7. I did reload the 2010 software from scratch. I am thinking it is some type of .dll file issue or font issue.
I'm having technical difficulty when Saving As in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS2. I can save to my computer but when I attempt to SAVE AS to my server it will take about 5 minutes and give me an I/O error or corrupt the file or the entire program will shut down. Often I will have to restart the entire computer. I've checked the network lines and they are fine. It only does it to my computer and none of the other 4 in my office.
We are copying our original files to a sub folder to make revisions that have only happened after bidding. We want to keep our original bid documents intact. I have created a sub folder called 'Conformed Documents' and added Constructs, Sheets, Elements, ect.
I copied the files over and used the Reference Manager to repath the files. However, all of my schedules and room tags now use the 'NA' prefix because it is not reading the project information. How can i reconnect this folder to the project folder?
We have 4 PCs and 3 macminis here at work. All have 3ds max 2012 installed on them.
I can see the macminis in the backburner queue monitor. I turn the server on all the available machines and only the lum-pc, renderfarm01 and russell01 are available to render (these are the PCs). The mac minis remain idle. I cannot use them to render.
However, if I turn on manager on one of the macminis, and turn on server on all the other machines, the macmini running the manager can only see the other macminis. This does not make sense as I've installed full 3ds max on these mac minis so they should be good to go.
I had my automatic save set up for every 10 minutes but files were not being saved regularly. I deleted files from the Temp folder thinking it was full and now there are no .sv$ saving at all. How can I make drawings save automatically every 10 minutes?
A PDF that was created with Illustrator CS5.1 is opened in CS6 and then saved. When this said PDF is opened again in CS5.1 all groupings are lost. Any way of preserving this when saving?
I've got rather weird problem. PS CC on the desktop can't open PS CC .psd files created on my laptop (and vice versa) due to compatibility problems. The same relates to the .tif files. It's not corruption of the files, it's happening to every new-written file I try to move between computers. The problem appeared today, during the weekend everything was fine and I changed nothing.
I work a bit on my laptop (vista premium, 4gb ram) and especially with large files the ram soon get maxed out and the scratch disk is used a lot (haven't run out, have about 150-170gb free).
I was wondering if putting the scratch onto a (partitioned - 1st for scratch) portable esata hdd would help?
We are a small office running ACA 2010 on Win7 64-bit machines, individual licenses. All our files are stored on the server and we do not use ACA sheet manager for file creation.
We are having an issue with files not saving! We have two working on the same project and they are trading between who has the base open and who is viewing "read only". Seemingly randomly one will open a base and it will be reverted back to yesterday with work lost! This can be documented when the person with "read only" open can see the changes and sometimes we have printed after the changes are made, but cannot open the editable file and see the changes. Sometimes the .bak will have the changes and sometimes not.
Does this have anything to do with "allow other users to Refedit current drawing" setting?
I am working on drawing a simple garage with a few windows throughout it. After inserting the windows in the wall where I want them, I cannot see them from the top view. If I switch to an isometric view they are visible and exactly where I want them. what I may do to make these visible from the top view?
I know the title sounds weird, but I am having trouble keeping my levels from reverting back to their default look when saving as a jpeg or attempting to flatten or merge my layers. I can attach a link to the PDS if you would like to take a look at it. The layer that is losing its levels settings is called "Stars". I don't change my levels often, so I am sure its something I am just missing. The levels are just changes on a single layer, as stated above its the layer called "Stars".
