I can no longer save my drawing file - keep getting error fault message.

Any suggestions? I have tried PAKing, but that didn't work either.

1. Layer / Layer Sets, and save out all layers.
2. Backup - File/Purge/File/Save As AEC.

Hopefully one of these will get all you info saved out.

Have you tried running the Repair tool on the file?

Glad you got her going! Might be a good idea to run the repair as well.

Is the Repair Tool something that's optional to install or is there a shortcut key? I am running 18.04.01.02 and do not have that as a option - screenshot attached.
