I should have noted that I tried these same files on another computer with the same fail to save. How worried should I be in having these files go bad on me so I can't open and use. I should also note that I tried coping just one component to a new file with the same errors.

Sorry, but I am on a Mac. I think you are referring to Windows.

The problem is specific to a drawing. I created a test drawing and the autosave created a file with no issue. I removed the autosave file to a different location on the bad one and it won't create a new autosave file.

On the test file I moved the autosave file to a new location and it created a new autosave file.

On the Bad file I created a new file and then copied the drawing from the old to the new. Failed to Save came up again so there appears the drawing is corrupted.

Any more thoughts?

Add some more. I can't even get a new file to work properly now. I also tried to remove anything related to Sketchup and then reinstalled. No help. I did save the 2014 file as a version 8 file and I could open it with 8 and never got a message but I also couldn't see were a autosave file was being saved. Strange thing was the setting for how often to save didn't change what what I had set for 1 minute. I would have thought it would have gone back to the default 5 min.

One more test. I ran disk warrior with hopes of a fix. Didn't. I tried another new file and it saved ok until I saved it and gave it a name. Old files seem to work OK with autosave. Only about 4 recent ones are not.

No It is my main hard drive. Autosave every five minutes fails. I have restarted my computer and reset PRAM. I realized that I rearranged the locations of my Sketchup files and think that may be the issue. The one file I have been working with I failed to move the Autosave file to the same location as the main file. Thought that was it but it wasn't. Still may be related. Have any thoughts on this?

Has anyone found a solution to this issue. Never had problems until I think I started using Make 2014. I have restarted sketchup but didn't help. Saved file but still seems to come back.
