Warning: An error occured during save

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

“Warning: An error occured during save” arises when saving a drawing which contains a style which was created with a layer from another “layer source” drawing.

1.  File new from _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS Extended.dwt (drawing2.dwg) 2.  File new from acad.dwt (drawing3.dwg) 3.  Under toolspace/settings for drawing3.dwg, right click on General-Label Styles-Line and select New.
4.  General tab, left click on the box next to Layer that currently contains 0, then click on the … to the right.
5.  Left click on Drawing3.dwg under Layer source at the top left of the Layer Selection dialog and select Drawing2.dwg.
6.  Select C-ANNO then OK and OK and save the drawing as temp.dwg.

This results in an AUTOCAD Message box with this text:

Warning:  An error occured during save.
We recommend that you run RECOVER on the drawing.

Workarounds:
… bring the layer into the new drawing prior to assigning it. … This, unfortunately, negates the functionality of using “layer source”.

“Middle of Text” mleader connection doesn’t work when text attachments contain fields

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

When using a multileader style with the leader connection point set to “middle of text,” the text attachment point jumps to the “middle of the top line” when any field is added to the text.
