Error when saving model

[zoeper]

I am encountering a problem every time autocad saves a specific drawing file. The problem occurs only after I make a union between two solids.

Error message displays:

Internal error

!saveres.cpp@197:eGeneral

Moddeling failure

 

The program then gives an message: Autocad cannot continue. Save a recovery? but when it attemps to save, it reports Error handler re-entered and exits the program

 

I am running autocad 2004 on winXP pro

Any suggestions?

Sounds like AutoCAD is corrupting the file.

 

Try using RECOVER and/or using another application (BricsCAD, ARES, etc) to open the file and save it.
