Strange file being created in my folders

Jun 15, 2004 5 Replies

I saw this once a few days ago but ignored it. But it happened again today.



There is a file that is automatically being created within the job folder that I am working from. It is not the typical temporary file with the tilde "~" symbol.



The name of this file is always "CreateProjection_Problem" with no extension and is 14 KB. I tried to open it in Notepad but it is just code. Anyone ever seen this or know what it is?


Is there a macro feature inside a SW document perhaps?

A company that does some contract design work for us mentioned seeing this last Friday. Searching in my CAD directory, I've got one from late February,

3 in May, and 6 in June. They range in size from 3 KB to 715 KB. There aren't any in non-CAD directories, although Explorer has crashed several times as I try and search the rest of my computer. The other SW users here also have a few, primarily in SW folders.

Same here. Both times were in CAD folders. I did a quick scan of all of my CAD folders and did not find any more of these mysterious files. If it happens again I will call my VAR. Until then, if anyone else knows what they are.....

I just looked at my machine - none found.
