[Solved] Unknown view command: SaveCopy error

Post by PAS_Drafter »

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 10 Version 2009

Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 4639283b459f9ff9093e289908cc003db8745b82
Python 3.10.9, Qt 5.15.6, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.6.3
Locale: English/United States (en_US)
Installed mods:

  * sheetmetal 0.2.60
Normally I can create a copy of my project. Sometimes when I try to do this it doesn't work. I click on the project from the file tree I want to create a copy of and go to File -> Save a Copy and the dialog box does not come up. In the Report View I get a message stating "16:14:14 Unknown view command: SaveCopy".

The funny part is that this doesn't always happen. Most of the time it works just fine.

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong to make it fail?

We have seen some issues when saving to a network or cloud drive. Is this the case here?

It is being saved to my OneDrive local folder which then gets synced to the cloud. I'm not saving directly to the cloud so not sure if that is the same thing or not.

Have a look at the Known OS specific issues first point in the General issues section.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I should probably go back to that page regularly and read it for changes.

Looks like it fixed it. I haven't run into the problem since changing the settings. Thanks
