unknown error

[Cheuk Ling]

I loaded a pile cap family in my project file , but a message "sketch is empty"
pop up.
Anyone knows what's the problem ?
I have tried to create a new project file and no error when loading that family again.
Or I transferred project standard from that new project file to my original project file
sometimes go back to normal but sometimes still fail to load that fam in.

pls help

Hi,
"sketch is empty" usually refers to ending sketch mode during in-place family creation, when nothing is there.
Perhaps try purging your file, and doing an audit when you open it up.

Tom,

normally if you create nothing in sketch mode , it won't let
you go until you drawing something legal or just quit the sketch.
so I don't understand how come is that message.
I think I have tried your methods but doesn't help.
I need to transfer standard from another normal files
to make it correct again. But all by chance, no definite
principle.

thx
