Unable to save

[Anonymous]

Hello, after finishing a project, a pop up message says, " a problem occurred when trying to save". So I cannot save my project so I need help.

What version of Inventor are you running?
Please include a screenshot of the error and of the Inventor screen showing the files involved (Browser pane) here. There is not enough information yet to give you a solution. Some hints below may help, but they are long shots:

It is the 2020 version of inventor and it says this :

Problems encountered while saving the document.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The database in C:\Users\Ingrassia\Documents\Inventor\P4-45 Module 7.ipt could not be saved

From my FAQ here:
"- Inventor error upon save: "Problems encountered while saving the document. The database in (...) could not be saved".
FIX: go to windows command prompt (cmd) and type "cd C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\Bin", then type inventor/install", enter, then wait for the next line to come up after Inventor ran in the background for a few seconds.
IF THE ABOVE FAILS: in the case the file is not on local disk, save a copy of the file on your local disk, then replace the network copy with it. Open to resolve and re-save normally after."

Hi! This is absolutely a bug. A few things to check. Clean up %temp% and make sure there is enough disc space. Obviously you won't be able to provide the files at the state before save. Is it specific to the files or you encounter it regularly? Please share a screenshot of Inventor window.

Many thanks!
