Is there a way to figure out what is wrong with the attached file? I get the following message when trying to open it.

2022 file updated to 2026. Something went wrong with the migration.

Do you still have the old 2022 file?

No I do not have the previous version. Even the ipt in the old versions folder exhibits the issue.

@jeremy_wasserstrass

This sounds like a pipe fitting... is it possible that the part (or one close to it) might be in your Content Center? What kind of Tee is this?

It's possible, since this file appears to be corrupt, that you might be able to find and modify something that is in your Content Center that is close?

Unfortunately this is a custom conduit fitting we do for an electrical contractor in the area so there's no comparable part in the content center. Luckily the drawings associated do open so if IT can't find me a version that will open it shouldn't be too bad to rebuild it.

IT came through for me, got a back-up that opens.

Hi Jeremy,

The part is seriously corrupted, even our internal debug tool cannot open it. If you find out how to reproduce the corruption, please let me know asap.

Many thanks!

So near as what I can tell what I did was have a reference in sketch 4 that went away for 3 of the model states(1.0 to .75NPT, 1.5 TO 1NPT, 2) so there was an error for those model states. Perhaps when I copied the '1.0 to 1NPT' model state to make the '.5 to 1NPT' model state is when the file broke. I put the error back in for the **Copy(2).ipt part, not sure if it will break or not in the same way when copying the last model state and making some changes to the hole size(SLEEVE_ID) and the OD(SLEEVE_OD) before switching to the first model state(not the Primary).
