Hi,
Publisher is starting to corrupt all my files from one project again and I'm in the process of losing weeks worth of work.
Can someone please look at some files for me?
I wish I could help but I have the same issue on a fairly regular basis. Last time I talked to Autodesk support I was told that this issue would not be addressed in Publisher 2013R1 but would, hopefully, be fixed in the upcoming 2015 release coming in late july.
Absolutley nothing from Autodesk.
You've got to laugh, it's an absolute shambles.
Hi Alex,
I had not installed the hotfix.
Can you send me a link to somewhere I can send the file?
Thanks.
The hotfixwill not fix a file that already has the problem. You need to go back to the last working version and update it then save and see if the problem shows up again. The hotfix worked on one of my files, the one autodesk had when they developed the hotfix, but not the others. I still see this error regularly. On a better note it was just posted on another thread that this problem has been fixed in the upcoming release.
It still seems to have the same problem.
I think my best chance is for Autodesk to have a look at this in the hope I can recover it and then pray that if Publisher 2015 ever appears, Autodesk will have fixed the error.
Na, have you recieved these files?
Hi, I've had the same corrupt file error error everyone else has had. I reckon i waste about 75% of my time when using Publisher trying to fight it to get a result. I have had to start the whole animation from scratch more times than i can remember.
It seems to me to be due to changing the assemblies you have in Inventor [adding, removing, modifiying parts and assemblies].
Then right clicking [Components>Source files>Update all Components] in Publisher and updating your whole assembly. The more parts or assemblies that are changed in Inventor the more it breaks it. I do the following to try and avoid breaking my whole file now.
I'm animating and bulding for the 3D web and mobile publish option. So i try and do every single tweak and fix in Inventor before i drop it into Publisher. That means its the least changes to make when it goes in. You can't catch them all tho. I work in Pub and Inv at the same time.
When i do have to make a change i will do them one at a time in Inventor then, increment your Publisher save before you update your files. eg[ file-01, 02, 03, 04] so your working of a copy as a basis. Then i will publish this to Autodesk 360, and if the A360 server does not manage to publish it so i can view it, i know its broken, and that version of my publisher file will not open again. So i will use the version before it and try again. This at least saves me some time.
Thats the way im working just now. Save a new file version before you import&update and at least you will have a file to go back to when you find its broken, and you have lost another 5 hours of work. Then delete the broken ones and keep saving working versions. With the amount of issues they have with it they should have it automatically incrementing each save.
Keep smiling!
