Failed to save document! Again.

[dogarila]

I know this has been discussed so many times but a search on the forum reveals no solution. So I am getting it again in an assembly created by someone else who was let go recently. We had to down size. Anyway, I was hopping this "failed to save" was a thing of the past but SolidWorks Corporation will not let us forget. So I am using SW2009 SP3.0 and I get "failed to save document" in a part and in an assembly and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I don't know if this is the "solution", but when this happens to me I just save it as a different name, delete the original, then rename it to the original name.

That error is, usually, a network issue not a software issue. Are you working across then network?

Are all users on the same service pack? We find there is an increase in "failed to save" and "connection was lost" problems when sp.'s are out of sych.

Like you, we used to get the same error message. Our VAR instructed us to do a hard rebuild, ctrl+Q, for every configuration the file in question may have then save it. It works for us.

Got the same error today when I was saving an assy as a part. I just little ol' me not working across a network. I just changed the name of the file, and she saved fine the second time.

When I get fail to save error it is usually when I am using configurations. To fix the problem I open each configuration and do a force rebuild "Cnt'l Q" then I am able to save the file as normal. If you are not using configuration do not know if this will work for you.
