Hi all,

I am trying to save a part and it is giving me an error message & I cannot understand why.

I didn't count the characters, but perhaps the naming of file and folders exceeds the allowed limits.

My guess would be that the path is too long...
Does it save when you try saving it to your desktop or C: drive directly?

Hi all,

I figured the problem out, I used the multi-solid workflow and then deleted a feature which deleted the 2nd body, this did not delete the actual solid body in it's folder. So when saving it gave that error.

I started over with a new ipt and it's fine.

Thanks

Glad you solved it!

If you're able to consistently recreate the error, i bet the people at Autodesk would love to know the steps involved. (even if it's part specific)

This had possibly something to do with the superscript power of 3 in the path (20m^3) of the file. See related solution about special characters specified in your full path here:

I will try to recreate the error at some point and if it does repeat I will be more than happy to share the process followed.
