Publishing layout failed because Archicad was not able to generate it

I'm getting this message when I try to publish two layouts that have been updated. They have previously been published. I deleted them from the publisher set and added them again, but I still get the same message. I tried publishing them one at a time, and they fail. I restarted the computer but it doesn't help.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi @karsonardo,

 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue.

Could you please send the problematic project in PLA format to bimx@graphisoft.com so we can investigate this issue?

 

Kind regards,

Have you tried all of the suggestions mentioned previously in this post?

Is please post a screen shot of the publishing dialogue as in the first post (showing the entire file name).

I am having the same issue when trying to publish to .dwg from the Publisher. Error message: "Publishing of the item failed because Archicad was unable to generate it." I have tried all of the suggestions mentioned previously in the post.

Also cannot "Save As" to .dwg or .dxf. I get the message, "Cannot write output file". I get this message from any view I use, particularly story windows, or worksheets. I get the same error whether I select "Marquee area" or "Entire drawing" when asked "Which elements do you want to save?"

I am working in AC 29.1.0 (4006) USA FULL. I am working on the file in Teamwork, but I have tried saving to a .pln on my desktop, still the same issues as above. I have restarted ArchiCAD, and my computer.

 

Does this sound like an error with the file? It is an embarassingly large file size.
