chaylock Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I can't save my work. An internal error? I've tried save-as. Save-as elsewhere on the drive. It's not a network location. I'm trying not to use expletives, but REALLY????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Try selecting all layers in the Layers panel (all at once), copying them then File > New From Clipboard and if that works, try to save that new file locally Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaylock Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Thanks Carl, but that didn't work. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2019 Sorry this is happening. We have not seen this much in Designer documents before, but have a hunch. We think that most likely only one layer will be problematic. You could Create a new document the same size as your first Copy and paste top level layers from one document into another. With each pasted layer try to save the new document At some point you should find one layer that (once pasted) will stop the new document from saving. Remove that problem layer from the new document and confirm it goes back to succesfully saving. Then copy all other remaining layers over to the new document and try saving again with the problem layer missing from the new document. If it turns out that only one layer was a corrupt, then recreate that layer in the new document. Please report back if this helped and what the layer was.

chaylock Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Bingo! Thank-you Patrick!! Yes, one layer, which has been there since the last iteration of this file, seems to have messed everything up. Thank-you so much for your timely help! The offending layer was an embedded PDF, which was my titleblock exported from AutoCAD. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
