get error when trying to save

Post by Chris B Campbell »

saved a cabinet in V6. Opened and placed 3/8" holes in the drawer box fronts tried to re-save but get the following error.
"An error occurred while adding HOOPS information to the save file"
Got a screen shot if you need it.

Chris,

I was not able to reproduce this error using Std Base cabinets, so was this a 5.2 cabinet that was saved and then changed? Or was there something else here.

If you could, please post your original cabinet so that I can step through your instructions and attempt to figure out what is going on.

I look forward to being able to help you with this.

Thanks.

Chris,

Can you tell me what your directory name field reads when you are trying to save the cabinet. Please give me the entire string that is in that field.

Hi Chris,

I had this error, what you need to do is select the browse button and then choose your directory where you want to save it to. This should work, unfortunately you will have to do this everytime you come to save.

hope this helps

Chris,

Seems there is an issue with directory names containing extended characters such as @, %, & and '. There may be others as I have not explored them all. These characters are important to the HOOPS graphics engine and are causing issues during the save.

This has been listed. For now, try to avoid using non-standard characters in directory names.
