rrocl Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Working on a 650 mhz Gateway w/128mb.Vectorworks 8.5.2. I was working on a 3D site plan for an exhibit gallery, saved numerous times and everything was going great. Before I left for the day I saved and quit. Next morning, NO BYTES in the file. Now everytime I try to save anything I get "There is not enough space on the disk to save the file." Did harddisk defrag., Scandisk, uninstalled VW and Re-installed all to no avail. Please let me know how to get this problem solved. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Mat Caird Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Now I just experienced a similar problem; I opened the file off a cd-rw (udf packet wrinting), made a few changes, then saved back to the cd-rw. VW showed an error "-39 block is full" (or similar). Now the file is damaged and can't be opened. The cd-rw was definitely not full before, there's still only 3mb of files on it.

Guest Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 You cannot save directly to a CD. You need to save it to your local drive and then burn it to the CD. Can you save other files to the hard drive? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Are you saving to your local hard drive or a network drive? Have you checked to see if you have free space on your hard drive? Quote Link to comment
rrocl Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Have plenty of space on the drive. My machine is on a wireless network but I'm working on and saving to the machine that has VW installed. Our network is peer to peer. Thanks for the prompt responce. Quote Link to comment
urimevs Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I have a similar problem if I open a file on the network. If for some reason I'm disconnected from the the other machine, I will get a similar error message. (OS 10.1 VW 9.5.2 Quicksilver G4) Quote Link to comment
Mat Caird Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Katie, u can save directly to a cd if you have the right software installed. In my case Ahead's InCD, on a win2000 computer. I suspect my problem was caused by something other than VW though, 'cause I can open the corrupted file on another machine without a problem. I should have tried restarting, which probably woulda fixed it. Thanks for answering. Mat Quote Link to comment
rrocl Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 This message is to Katie the Administrator. Still waiting for a solution to my problem. Still cannot save anything to disk. Keep getting "not enough space on disk" messages. I can't even save a newly created file with no drawn items. What gives? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I am one of the many admins on this website. I try to answer here when possible, but I don't always have time to come here and reply to everything. If you want direct help from Tech Support, you should contact us by phone, email or fax. Phone being the quickest. Keep in mind, while I do answer posts here, I am not required to answer posts here. I only answer posts here when free time finds me. As for your saving issue. You are using VW 8.5.2. This could be a problem that was in VW 8.5.2 that I didn't know about. (I came on board long after 8 was completed.), it could be a permissiosn thing, it could me many things. Are you saving to your local c drive?Can you save from other applications fine?How large are the files you are trying to save?What OS are you working on?Have you run scan disk and defrag lately on your hard drive to check for errors and fragmentation lately?

Haydenovative Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We have just hit this issue. Opened the file from a network, couldn't save it to a local disk, USB drive or back o the server. Head scratcher. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Have you tried doing a SAVE AS. I think this is how we resolved this problem last time. HTH Quote Link to comment
