Can't save to central after upgrade

[paullee]

I saved my local file to central before upgrading from Revit Structure 3 to 4. The first time I opened the local file after this it said changes could not be saved to central after the local file was upgraded, so I closed the local file, opened the central file and created a new local file overwriting the old Revit 3 local file. Everything went fine. I checked the central file to see that changes were being saved to it. The only problem is that no matter how many times I save the local file in Revit 4, when I close & open Revit it upgrades the local file again and says the I can't save to the central file, although I have done so sucessfully several times.

I did upgrade and save the Central file first, then create new locals.

Can you open the central ? Try copy-pasting the central file, then rename and open. Does it pop you with a warning about not being a central anymore ?

Sounds like a bug to me. You should get in touch with Autodesk ASAP.

Yes, if you're truly having major issues such as this, and if the issue is consistent, the send it through Support Requests so they can 'squash' this bug! :veryevil:

I believe that Wes M had a post on this issue last week in the workarounds forum.

I wonder if the file has any other revit files linked in? Were they upgraded as well?

Possible corruption issue in 9.1 [and RS4]That's the one. But I'm not sure that it's only worksets between RS4 & RB9.1. I thought I had seen something else that stated worksets get corrupted when you went from 9.0 to 9.1 Reguardless of working with RS or not.

I just had a Autodesk Tech Support call on an unrelated topic, but gained a morsel of knowledge about the corruption issue:

According to the tech, this problem does not affect many customers. It is only a problem on models which had a workset deleted. If you wish to upgrade such a model, you can contact Autodesk; they have a journal file which will clean up your file for upgrade.

I've incorporated into our best practices that we audit a model and then archive it before upgrade. This gives us a model to go back to in events like this.
