unexpected file format?

Feb 17, 2005 6 Replies

I have noticed that since sp1.1 when I save an assembly (possible part as well) that sometimes I get a message "unexpected file format". If I say ok, then save again, all seems fine. I have not had problems opening, and no obvious file corruption, but it is not a warm-and-fuzzy message to get.



It is possible that this also happend with ev1.0 as well, but I may have ignored it.



Ideas?

I have seen it in the past, but I have never been able to attribute it to anything repeatable.

WT

Verses??? Yes, XPSP2 blaa blaa patch patch etc. I recently reformatted and rebuilt my entire system. Nightmare, but I do it at least once a year (freed up half my HD, even though I reinstalled exactly what I had before... hmmmm).

It has not been fatal in any situation yet, just hit save again and there is not problem ( and it appears to save the first time as well. Maybe - and this is a guess -it has to do with photoworks which I do not always have active, and I do have decals attached to some of the models this has happend to recently.

Are these network saves?

Never had much problem with PW, it is usually draw> >

No, local drive.

I am going to ignore it for the moment - it is intermittent and I am not having any (known) serious side effect other than the worrisome nature of the message.

Thanks for the help. Daniel

I've see this occur after I've removed the Routing add-in without restarting SW. Could be something peculiar to routing though.
