Im trying to save as DWG direct from the 2D window and I get and error
"cannot write output file" Publish from the layouts works.
Any ideas?

Quite severe bug and one of the reasons why our office isn't going to use AC10.

Wonder why Graphisoft isn't doing anything about it - the first post about the problem is from last June and it hasn't been fixed in the hotfixes...

Just tried it - works for me.......

Are you using the INT version? Mac or PC? What build? Are your drawings all up to date (Drawing manager)?

As described in the thread mentioned in my last message, the DWG -saving works sometimes.
It's not about the platform or anything (I suppose so), but it's a bug that's quite irrational. For example I could do my DWG saving when I detached the XREFs I used.

might be a network permissions related problem. try saving the dwg on your desktop instead of to a network folder.

Excellent suggestion. Length of pathname is often a DWG killer.

Im running this file off network and still have the failure saving to desktop
FYI my sign has all the config info.

Interestingly I just tried a different file and that did work.

I cut and posted the plans into a new file and that works too.

Have experienced the same problem with a plp-file.
"Cannot write output file"
Working with the latest patch 1010 on PowerMac in a apple-talk network.
Tried to save to desktop - doesn't work.
Tried to save as dxf - doesn't work.
My AC supplier says it's a network problem, and I need to sign for a support agreement €700 to MAYBE get it fixed.
If this problem is a bug, I want to take it to Graphisoft...

Any suggestions?
