Problem with the update in the assembly.

bergloo — Sat, 19 Oct 2019 04:13:42 GMT

Hello community, I need your help. Today when I try to open my assembly. A dialogue window appears with the following message:

In addition many elements disappeared, and an old version of the assembly appears.

It's weird because the complete assembly appears in the mini image.

When I try to save this version it says:
File copy error on salve access is denied

Thank you in advance for your help

@bergloo

It sounds like the following

1. You don't have the permission to save to that location

2. You lost connection to the "D" drive (assuming its a network location and not a local drive)

3. Perhaps you will want to review @Curtis_W article here http://inventortrenches.blogspot.com/search?q=newver

The preview image is not an indication of what is in the file - it is simply a screen capture bitmap image that Inventor automatically captured at some save of the assembly. This image can be changed to anything.

Do you have enough free space on the D drive (I would say at least twice the size of the entire project)?

Are you using a Project file (*.ipj)?

Have you been moving files around?

Hi! I suspect there is some corruption among the files. Or, there are duplicate files in different folders within the project. If possible, please share the files here so forum experts can take a look.

Many thanks!
