SW 2016 SP0.1 A closed file is not useable again until restarting SW

Mark Stegall Nov 17, 2015 5:11 AM

I am having trouble with SW 2016 SP0.1. I am getting consistent errors (~15% of the time) when closing a file then opening it again without exiting SW. I get the message that the file is in used and it will open a read-only copy. Only way out of this is to exit and restart SW. Occasionally it causes SW to crash. I am new to SW. I also see this when looking in windows explorer when trying to delete or moved a closed file right after closing it but not exiting SWs. It tells me that the file is locked. Is there a way to report bugs like this?

This sounds like possibly a hardware problem with network reaction time.

  No network lag, all files are local in the same directory.

Found out that this issue is a known issue in solidworks when saving a drawing as a pdf or dwg. There is a SPR into solidworks for this issue. Is this were anyone else is seeing the issue. I hadn't realized it was happening when creating pdf's and dwg's until I tested it.

I'm having the exact same issue...no idea that it was a known bug. Hopefully, they'll get it fixed in the next service pack because it's a serious waste of time.
