Best Error Message Ever...

[Sinc]

Still getting this in C3D 2012 SP1, for no apparent reason:

YEAH!

That's definitely packed full with helpful troubleshooting information.

Guess I'll just hit "OK".... 

[castled071049]

It means, "Warning... Exclamation Point Ahead".

Not only: you may even click onto white cross on red background...

Now seriously, try to restart Windows in "safe mode", then run Civil: does that funny alert show up..?

[neilyj666]

I got this the other day too - seems a bit uncontentious though and not reproducible on demand - don't worry though they are bound to have sorted it out for C3D 2013.....

[AllenJessup]

I get it too. Often when closing Civil.

Allen....I second that. I get that when closing, sometimes it's not even right away. 20-30 seconds go by then BAM!!! there it is.....

Gotta love the phantom error. I get it as well with C3D and less often with ACA. ~ Mary

Glad I'm not the only one 🙂

Yet another candidate for the Interface Hall of Shame.

I also nominate the interface for attaching and querying files within Map. Why is the dialogue box the sixe of a post-it note floating in middle of our nice, new jumbo monitors?

Just hit OK. OK?

My new favorite error message......(see attached)

I didn't even get a chance to save a recover drawing (which is only useful half the time) and lost almost an hour of work. YEAH for autosave.....not really......

I had this error message too.  Think I might have solved it though (in my case anyway).  I uninstalled all Google Earth for AutoCAD add-ons as well as Civil 3D object enablers.  The next time I opened and closed a drawing the exclamation point error message didn't appear.  Before it would appear every time I closed a session. 

BTW, I'm running AutoCAD Map 3D 2012.

I was getting this error as well, on both my work pc and home pc with 2011, 2012 and 2013.

After seeing this post by David Lau at Up and Ready

I tried the fix from the link (shown below) in the article regarding repairing .net 4 framework and it worked! Same procedure on windows vista 64bit and windows 7 64bit.

No more empty error box with a yellow triangle when I exit Civil 3d.

[MarySeufert]

Just tried this, to no avail. Wish it worked. Because now I am getting this little bugger multiplied by 2 on all my versions of CAD, sometimes I'll have to get rid of three.

This exclamation mark error is very annoying. I am using AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2012 and apparently this error is also present. I do not have a parallel installation, (version AutoCAD 2013), but Revit Structure 2013 is installed, side-by-side with Revit Structure 2012.

[dsorenso]

Repairing the .NET installs did not fix the issue on any machines I've tried.  I am experiencing the error dialog on close of AutoCAD 2011 after having opened a file with vertical objects (Civil3D, etc).  The only fix that has worked is to repair AutoCAD 2011 after installing AutoCAD 2013.  I'm hoping Autodesk will release a fix for this issue soon.

[rkmcswain]

I doubt we'll see a fix for this.

It's annoying at worst (at least here) so we just live with it.
