unspecified error - Y2k8 bug..?!

Rick Houle · 2008-01-02, 06:43 PM

I am currently on Revit-2008 (build 20070607_1700)

Now that my PC clock reads January, 2008 I get an "unspecified error" when I try to edit a group in my family tree, or try to save out a group... I can still edit the group in-place but that is it.

When I change my PC clock to read 12-31-2007 or earlier, the function works properly.

Can anyone please advise if this is the case on newer builds as well..?!

I believe that we need to be using the latest build before we try to effectively track down any bugs.

hmm same thing is happening for me in SP2 20070810.

Guess I need to install SP3 and see if it still happens.

*edit* yep still happens on the most current build.

I merely changed my computer's date to Dec. 31 2007 and then it worked just fine. When I changed it back, it once again said Unspecified Error when trying to open the group to edit or save out the group.

Yep. Same here.
A big happy new year to you from Autodesk....

The problem occurs in the latest build, 20071109_2345, as suspected.
We are probably among the first to discover this. I have never known a programmer, post y2k, to "flex" their builds against their PC clock..!

Just to add a note, the 'Unspecified error' also occurs when selecting a drafting view in the Project Browser and then selecting the 'Save to New File' function. I also recreated the conditions listed here and received the same results. Odd problem. I am currently using RA2008 build 20070324_1700.

the same error occurs with older builds as well. 20070810_1700

File>New>Project>Template=None>Pick your units...Unspecified Error. I can recreate this error in the following Revit products: Revit Architecture 2008, Revit Structure 2008, Revit MEP 2008, Revit Building 9.1, Revit Structure 4.0. Moreover, I have solid evidence that this procedure was functioning properly on Friday, 12/28/2007. After acknowledging the error message by clicking okay, the new file, predictably, was not created. When closing the Revit session, I get an unrecoverable error message.

I was able to recreate this error in:
Revit Architecture 2008 build 20071109_2345
Revit Structure 2008 build 20071209_1300
Revit MEP 2008 build 20071109_2345

"unspecified error" on all and crashed on all
Application: Revit Architecture 2008 Version: 2008.000 Error: Unhandled Exception
Application: Revit Structure 2008 Version: 2008.000 Error: Unhandled Exception
Application: Revit MEP 2008 Version: 2008.000 Error: Unhandled Exception

This can't be good.

Same problem here with the Group Editing. I also got the Crash at the end of the session. Good thing it comes after the save. I have a support request in to AD I will see what the resolution is
