My company uses AutoDesk (Inventor & AutoCAD) products and PTC (Creo) products. For AutoCAD we use the Workgroup Manager and sometimes we get an error during usage that shows below MicrosoftTeams-image (12).png . I can't trace the source of why it is happening. It basically blocks all the information for saving from AutoCAD once this error is shown to the user. Has anyone else see this? You can delete the local Windchill folder and re-setup the connection for the Workgroup Manager to the CAD tools, however, the user always ends up losing work because of this.

Was there a resolution for this? I am also experiencing this problem.

No we have not found anything. PTC support desk said that I needed log files showing when it happens to diagnosis anything. I don't know the cause so we can't run the logs constant.to capture. The closest information I have found is here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-forum/unable-to-save-files-creating-tmp-files-instead-autocad-lt-2014/m-p/4531107#M117508

I have a test running trying this option: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-LT/files/GUID-469DFA87-1986-4BDA-918B-1E3F9D6FCDC2-htm.html

Both of those are not for current versions, but I think still apply. We are on AutoDesk 2018, what version are you on?

We are also using AutoCAD 2018. For some users, opening the drawing, moving some stuff around and re-saving causes the issue. Clearing the Workgroup Manager cache does help temporarily.
