I've encountered this a few times .
During the Auto-backup, the document failed to save in the background.
I can't do anything about it.If I try to close the document, it'll prompt me to save it, leading to the same failure.
So I can only quit CorelDraw without saving the document. And if I reopen the same file, same thing happens.So I end up recreating everything.
It only happen to the particular file and not others.
Any idea what's the issue that causes this?
Have you tried saving under a new name?
I think sometimes windows fails to fully close a file at the end of a save and therefore next time you come to save it, the file is still considered to be open. But saving under a new filename may succeed.
Sometimes windows temporarily loses access to a network drive. But saving a copy to a local drive may succeed.
If neither of those work, then I'd try copying everything to the clipboard and see if it can be pasted into a new document.
Or in desperation, try saving to a different format -- EPS, PDF etc, hoping that (preferably after a reboot) it can be imported again.
Hello MT Studio; You might want to try exporting to something like a Ai, EPS, or PDF and reopen it to try to get a clean file to work with.
My Thoughts George
Hi Harry/George,
If I save as a new file name, same issue.
So I actually tried to copy everything onto a new plain document, surprisingly can't save either.
So I suspect there is something wrong with the elements in the file (although no issue before this).
Eventually, I found the way to tackle this:
After I copy everything to a new document, I have to close the original file in order to save the new file.
If the original file is opened, the new file cannot save.
Hi,
I have also face the same issue but only when there is not enough space on the drive so I clear temp, prefetch & delete or shift the data and solved it, so try the same if the same with you
MT Studio said:After I copy everything to a new document, I have to close the original file in order to save the new file.
That is a strange one. As Sandesh suggests, it could be lack of disc space. Closing the other document could have released some temporary files enabling the new file to be saved. But CorelDraw would previously have needed some disc space on the temporary files drive before it could put the contents into the new file. So I'm not sure where it would have found the necessary space to do that, unless your document and temporary files are on different drives.
I wonder whether the windows paging file has become corrupt?
