Hello @xu.teng ,

 

I wanted to check in and see if you were able to upload that journal, and if you have any questions or concerns! Let me know if you would rather upload the journal via a private upload link, I can also send that as well.

Can you give me a private link, the file I am going to upload is around 100 mb.

Hi @xu.teng,

 

Thanks for uploading the journal files. 

 

Can you please test to see if users can save any files to the temp folder? C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp

 

Thank you.

Hi @xu.teng,

 

Have you had a chance to try the test I proposed from my last post?

Hi @xu.teng,

 

Thank you for try the test of saving to the temp directory.

 

Did you have a chance to try testing the hidden admin profile on the machine (This rules out any permissions or Windows profile errors)? See: Enable the (Hidden) Administrator profile to rule out your username. If it works there, you'll need a different Windows profile created with no special characters.

Hello @xu.teng ,

 

Thank you again for uploading that journal file! In the file I'm seeing multiple references to your local temp folder, both successful and unsuccessful. 

 

Each call to the temp folder is showing the path as: C:\Users\XUFB47~1.TEN\AppData\Local\Temp\  where XUFB47~1.TEN  is the username on your windows profile. 

 

The  ~ in the username here looks to be interfering with Revit's access to the folder, which we seen happen frequently.   If you have an IT department, they should be able to look into why the machine is using the username XUFB47~1.TEN and have it changed for each user.  

 

You should be able to confirm the machine's username in use by opening a file folder and typing %temp% in the address bar. This will navigate to the default temp folder of the machine, the same one Revit should be using. After hitting enter you can click back in this address bar to get the definite path.

 

For example, I navigate here and i see:

  • Folder Symbol >Mariah Ferranti >AppData>Local>Temp

But when I click the address bar again to show the full path, I see:

  • C:\Users\ferranm\AppData\Local\Temp  

Where Ferranm is the username the machine actually sees, instead of the display name. 

 

Even though your Autodesk account and username that Revit is using only has a . between names, Revit is reading your machine's username as XUFB47~1.TEN  which is frequently confusing it and disabling access to the temp folder which has this username in the path. 

 

If you don't believe XUFB47~1.TEN  is the username being used by your machine, or it's not supposed to be, we can also check out the System Information:

  • Press the Windows button and R on the keyboard at the same time
  • Type MSINFO32 and hit enter
  • This will bring up the system information. 
  • In the default page, system summary, scroll down to 'User Name'  I'm on a domain so I see ADS/ferranm
  • If you're on a domain you'll see your domain, then / then your username. 
  • Screencast of these steps here: Finding username using System Information 

If the system information shows something different, then there is definitely something odd going on with your Windows Profile, and I would ask IT to check into where this odd username could be coming from.

Hello @xu.teng ,

 

I wanted to check in and see if you were able to take a look at the Windows Username in use on the machine, and if IT has any ideas where the username with the special character is coming form. Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or need more help!

I have checked my user name, it is xu.teng. I confirmed the name through the method you told me.
