    Exclamation A fatal error has occurred

    Has anyone else seen this error? (see attachment) Do you have any idea what is causing it? I get it when I try to save to central. I then did a saveas and exit. I opened the recovery file Revit created and then got an Unrecoverable error (see attachment). Any information would be very helpful. I keep losing work and the project is due Monday.

    Did you submit to autodesk support? They are probably your only hope.

    Any idea what causes it? Are you losing work because of it? Any one else at your company getting the same error?

    Yes, I have lost work of varying degree (thought usually not that much).

    It happens randomly, but is usually due to me having too many windows open, or trying to do too many things at the same time.

    Either way, it will usually corrupt your local file, and you will need to create a new one for it to stop happening. (at least until you aggravate Revit again)

    Sounds like you may be running out of memory, which is causing the crash, how much RAM do you have installed on your machine? Have you implemented the "3 Gig Switch"?

    Kyle,
    I have 3g of RAM and yes we have implemented the "3 Gig Switch". If you want I can provide the local file and local recovery file. We really need to find out what is causing this. Saving to central every 5min is not very productive.
