I'm having the same problem. I'm a Mac user saving to a windows server running xp. I get the "failure on attempt to open file" error, but then the file seems to save. But when I look in the directory on the server, there are a bunch of files with the file name and a VWTMP suffix attached. It seems to be creating a backup every time I get the error. I've checked the preferences and selected "overwrite existing file". Any thoughts? This is going to be aggravating if it creates twenty or thirty backup files every day.

I just installed 2008 last night on my Intel Imac running OSX 10.4.11. Now everytime I run either v 12.5.2 or v.2008 I'm getting constant crashes, every five minutes or so. There doesn't seem to be a pattern, sometimes it crashes opening and closing groups, sometimes changing print setup, other times autosaving. Please help! I can't work!

when I try to assign handles to my cabinets, the handles appear, but are floating in space, 5 or 6 feet behind the cabinet. Is this a known bug? What's the story? thanks

Anybody know if it's possible to import a custom PC workspace to a Mac? If so, how? Thanks....

So, I transfered all my heights to the elevation setting instead of the z-value. But I'm still having problems with the pad within a pad. It seems that at the point where my larger pad transfers from cut to fill, the pad within defining the pool bows up. So instead of a clean hole I get two slopes rising up to the center of the pad. Any thoughts?

I've always used z-value. Although like I said above, resetting the datum elevation seemed to correct the cut and fill situation. What is the difference Katie? And while I have your attention, any clever ideas for modeling a pad within and pad (like a pool or basement). I've tried it using both one fence(not good) or two fences (really not good). Maybe it will be better if I change all heights from z to elevation? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked and my "datum elevation" was set to -20'. Don't know how that happened but when I set it to zero it seemed to fix it. Does anyone know what the datum elevation actually corresponds to?

I've made a site model and then altered the model using a series a of open polys as pads (in effect representing the new proposed contours). When I check the cut and fill, the OIP says Cut: -0.000 Cu yds, Fill: 66,665 Cu Yds. Net is the same as Fill. Does anybody know why this is. The grading involved is cutting back an existing hillside and smoothing the slope, so I know there must be some cutting involved. I did a test and tried creating a simple closed pad set entirely into the hillside (a condition with lots of cut and little fill) the results I got were cut: 5 yds, fill 6000 yds. What am I missing here?

If you are using viewports, make a duplicate viewport of the drawing in question. Turn off all layers except for the grayed layers. Then increase the lineweight factor for the "gray viewport" only. You'll have to experiment to see how much you want to pump up the gray. I usually double it (enter 2 in the dialog box).
