Saving A Crashing File..

I think I got it figured out.. a method to save a file that is in the process of being corrupted meaning.. you have to do it when you start seeing a string of warnings and errors that prevent you from saving the file.. like curve point not found.. or failed to save.. file not found.. etc when you start seeing this.. get ready.. you dont have much time left.. because before you know it ..you will have a 2k trashed file..

 

I have to admit.. I am running v10 with no hotfixes.. but this may help someone anyway

 

On occasion.. copying and pasting the file into a new file.. or dragging into the catalog.. or even a simple save as can work..

 

In this case none of these options worked.. the file was way too large.. and IC couldnt handle the copy and paste options .. or dragging it into the catalog.. I almost lost the whole rocket.. I had lots of work invested in this assembly and this file was really jacked up..

 

 

This is what I did

 

With the bad.. or dying file open..

I opened a new file..

Insert the dying file as a link.. then unlink it..

Do some cleanup work as needed.. then save the file of course

 

Then I rebooted.. and deleted out the local folder for good measure

 

When I looked at the bad assembly.. it was gone.. just a 2k trashed file

 

Hope you never have to use this method.. but just incase..
