DWG & DWF Export No Longer Works

Robert Fuchs — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 21:25:37 GMT

We have had two files in the past two day begin not saving out into DWG or DXF files. We tried a regural saveas and also the publish. We get a
"can not output file" error. On a the teamwork project it started with one view and now has moved to all but two saved views. It happens to views in the plan, section/elevation, and detail windows. The only fix we have found so far is to copy what we need to a new template file then you can save. The same Views that can not be saved out as DWG or DXF can be saved out as PDFs. So it seems that the translater is not working all the time. Anyone else have this problem?

Have the permissions been changed on the folders where the files are being published? It might work from one computer, but not a different computer. Be sure that all users have read/write permissions to the folders that are being used by the publisher.

We did have some changes to permissions but all are set to read/write on the xserve. They also can not save to their desktops. Would permissions block the file going from the server to their desktops? Maybe when the "owner" of the file got changed with the new permissions to a "new owner" it affected the file in some way? Do you think this might have caused a problem. We had to reinstall the server software and reset the permissions to the hard drive that contained the existing files. I just checked and if i create a new folder or files it's info. show read/write for everyone.
