UNDETERMINED ERROR
UNDETERMINED ERROR
(OP)
I've just lost everything I have done today (and not for the first time). I opened several parts and assemblies (one main top assy amoung them). I edited 3 or 4 of these parts and saved them (I actually closed them and saved them) Every thing showed up fine in my top assy. Then BOOM! UNDETERMINED ERROR! It goes out of SW and pretends that I didn't do anything today!
When I went back into my top assy, guess what all my changes were gone (INCLUDING THE ONES I SAVED IN EACH SUB ASSY SEPERATELY)!!!! I've tried bringing up backups, no help. What kind of program have I been roped into using here, I mean this is elemental recovery protocall. I haven't had this much trouble with a software package since I used a Telesis Machine (and that was a nightmare!) Any suggestions out there?

BTW: I have to be honest and say that anyone who does not pay annual support for ANY major application software deserves no sympathy. The iitial purchase price of software is insignificant in terms of the total cost of ownership. We should all be aware of this. If we can't afford total ownership, we can't afford the software, period! Please excuse my little outburst - not directed at you - I'll get off my soapbox.....

RE: UNDETERMINED ERROR
When I went into my top assy again to make the changes all over again I noticed that when I went into my first sub assy and the related part the the changes were there in the part drawing (before in checking after the crash I just went to the sub assy level and not the part level)and when I redisplayed the part assy they appeared there and then when I redisplayed my top assy that change appeared there again. I simply had to go into each sub assy in like manner and then go back to the top assy and Viola! There it was. Look's like I lost links to the new changes from the top assy and not all the changes. Still it was scary there for a while.
I may need some advice on amount of memory and what kind/size of of video card to get> presently I am working with files that are large compared to what I am used to. My top assy is over 60mb and the subs are between 5-10mb each. I have 1gb of memory in my computer and (I know this is bad) a 64mb gforce4 video card --- Help?

Also, check your SW backup settings. See where your backup files are sent and look there.

Large assemblies 1 Gig Minimum
What kind/size of of video card to get
You should look through the posts here by clicking on a the search tab. This issue has been talked out. I recommend the new Quadro cards. Thread559-65444 there is link there for the video card I useand at a good price - At least at the time I posted this.

Throw that card away and get a Quadro 500 FX at a minimum. From the sounds of your assemblies you should be using 2 Gigs of memory.
One thing to try when you see a problem like this again is to first do a Ctrl-Q. If that doesn't work, close the file, close SW, and restart the computer, then try again.
Call your VAR in time like this - that's what they are there for.
