Corrupted Drawing

[Dman5]

I created a drawing from a solid model. Added dimensions and
notes. I completed modifications to the solid model. When I attempted to save the drawing a message window popped up and said drawing was corrupted and cannot be saved. I am using version 2011. Is this common occurance and is there some recourse to getting my drawing back?
Thanks in advance.

Can it open on another PC? Also try rebooting your PC.
You using a PDM application?

Thanks for the response Ctopher.
A co-worker here suggested I "save as copy" the drawing.
That seemed to do the trick. Just to let folks know, I did
not have this problem until I upgraded to 2011 3 weeks ago.
Thanks again ctopher.

I used to get this occasionally in older versions working across a network. 'Save as' fixed it and I never discovered the cause. Another good case for backups. I think I'll go do one now . . .

I have this problem atleast once a week but for me it has been parts that are corrupt and with luck save as has helped, other times i lost all edits.

You're welcome.
The only time I have ever had this problem (been a few years) is after SW or my PC crashed, or the file came from an outside source.
