Style library damaged

[Anonymous]

I know this has been talked about before, but maybe it needs refreshing. I have been trying to create a new material library and style library from scratch. In doing so i have been saving my work as I go but time and time again after saving every few steps i get the following error:

Design Data cannot be saved because it is damaged

Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening, as well as a way to fix it without reloading a fresh design data folder from a clean install?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous 

It looks like the style library may be damaged (sorry for the pun!). I think perhaps the style xml may have error(s) which could result in this error message being fired. Is this a custom style library?

You could inspect the style library xml and even perhap compare it to other xml libraries to see if there is any corruption. If you have an earlier version of this library, you could try resurrecting that and using it.

Alternately, you can try to export the styles to a different file and see if it results in the same issue.

If not, if you can upload the corrupt library here or send me the dataset, i can try to see what's going on. Please include Inventor version and steps to reproduce.

Thanks
