Warning: An error occured during save
AutoCAD Civil 3D Bug Watch
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.

Bhatch does not find a hatch boundary
AutoCAD Bug Watch
Friday, 07 March 2008
Ever since bhatch was introduced in R13, it has had trouble finding the boundary of many areas which are bound by arcs or polylines with arcs.  This bug seems to be more troublesome the farther the linework is away from the UCS origin.  It appears to be worse still when the linework is far from the WCS origin (such as any geospatial drawing).  Over the past 14 years, the user community has come up with numerous workarounds to coax results from the bhatch command.  Unfortunately, no single workaround works in all cases.  Furthermore, none of these workarounds make sense to younger users who have never had to massage results from their software and have grown to expect applications to "just work."  These workarounds are documented below.
