Warning: An error occured during save
Friday, 23 May 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.

Text in Curve Label Style doesn't allign with its border and mask
Wednesday, 27 February 2008
  1. Create a Curve Label Style with the following settings:
    • Allow Curved Text = true
    • Border Visibility = true
    • Background Mask = true
  2. Before you OK the label style, you'll notice that the border is not going to be correct.
  3. Draw an arc.
  4. Place the curve label style on arc and check the location of the border and the background mask.

The background mask matches the border, but neither matches the text.  It works fine if you don't use "Allow Curved Text".

  2. Set the annotation scale to 1"=40'.
  3. Place some points manually.
