    Question 8.0 corrupting files?? Find the Fix here!

    I have been working on a project for the entire morning, saved it , and then a little later reopened it to find that it was corrupt and crashing out Revit.
    So I sent it off to Autodesk for investigation, and decided in the meantime to work on some 7.0 - 8.0 family upgrades. Only now to find that the families are becoming corrupt and can't be opened too, so I have sent them off to Autodesk as well.

    Are others experiencing a similar problem? I am using the new web install 20050423_2300.
    I have attached a problem file, can someone please try and open it to see if it's just me.

    That file appears to be corrupt.

    It won't open in the CD build 20050412_2300.

    I have been playing around and I can now consistently reproduce the corruption results, but I think because my findings relates to the beta I believe it can't discuss it any further (NDA). Beta testers be careful.

    I'll let Autodesk test my findings and let them get back to the forums with their results.

    I just had the same problem. I saved my work then tried to open it. It wouldn't open. Crash! I would advise anyone contemplating working in the latest 8.0 to stop right now.

    I've been working in the 8.0 CD build since it arrived yesterday, without a problem.

    I've just tested, and it's only happening with the latest web build. The CD build seems to be working fine.

    I started this file with the Revit Beta, so that is probably the source of my problem. All the work I did today is currently unaccessible. Plus I cannot go back and work on any of the older files, as when I save them they will be corrupted as well. I am shutting down the drafting factory and laying off all the workers. I am confident Revit support will have me up and running soon.

    Files started in beta and opened in the CD build are fine, the problem may be the web build as Chad has noted.

    Not sounding too promosing, i'm glad i'm still using the CD build. Of which we've found very successful. Files are operating as well if not smoother and faster in 8.

    A lot smoother transition than the first few builds of revit 7...
