Failed to save document - Imported ProE file

Bulent Kalafat Dec 15, 2011 12:59 PM

I have been trying to open a big ProE assembly in Solidworks 2012 SP1.0. I kept getting error messages, so I tried importing part by part.

Now I can actually open the parts of the ProE assembly in Solidworks but when I want to save them I get a message that says ''Failed to save document''.

Does anyone have an idea why this might be hapenning?

Most of the cases of Failed-to-save that I've seen were resource related: usually someone ran out of memory or address space. I don't see those problems too much since I went to 64bit and if you're just having a problem with this one import and not other assemblies as well, then, the problem probably traces back to the ProE file.
Question, are you importing the parts with feature recognition or just as dumb solids?

  I tried importing with feature recognition and as bodies. In both cases I get the same error.
  
  You may be right though, may be the original parts are corrupt in some way.

  I don't know what happened from 5 min. ago, but now SW will save ProE parts both with and without features.
