Yes, on Monday I can. This particular file was generated by a coworker on some flavor of v5 (which I can also get for you on Monday), I edited it a bit (I didn’t do any further dimensioning / annotation however) and attempted the save which failed.
I can find out the RC number by then myself. I know we made several fixes for this particular problem in the 6.6 branch, I am thinking that the current RC was created from a point just before that.
Edit: I just now heard that next weeks’ RC will have the fixes in.
@SamPage
We think we have fixed the bug that was causing the file saving “failed for unknown reason” bug. The fix will be in any Rhino 6 built on or after Jun 4. The bug is in every Rhino 6 built before June 4. We hope to have public updates available for both Rhino 6.5 (shipping version) and Rhino 6.6 (next service release candidate version) by later today.
Details: As discussed above, if you selected any annotation object during a modeling session, then the possibility existed for strings to get corrupted in annotation styles. These corrupted strings were halting file writing and also causing crashes. In addition to the 4 strings mentioned above, there were about a dozen other strings that were at risk. We fixed the bug that created the initial corruption. In addition the core file IO code has been updated so that, in the future, any corrupt string will be discarded, replaced with the empty string, and file saving will continue.
I apologize for the lost time and extreme frustration this bug has caused. Thank you for reporting the bugs and helping us.

More fix details:
Last week I downloaded the latest version of Rhino 6 (version 1.50, Dec 14 2018, 17:51:30) and I still have the problem that it won’t save my files. I’ve downloaded the FixDimStyles plug-in, but it doesn’t work. This way Rhino is useless for me. Are their any other solutions?
I’m using a default Rhino template.
Please help
Hi - that error message doesn’t include the "Writing failed for an unknown reason." message, and as the problem that was reported in this thread was solved in SR 6, it is likely that you are experiencing something else.
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and paste the result here.
Last week it saved my file once. This week I opened the program again and it again failed.
This is what I get when I run system info:

Hello - are you saving to a synced folder like Google Drive or DropBox?
-Pascal
No, just a regular folder on my SSD.
It might have something to do with the fact that I’m using an educational license via the TU Delft. The one time that it did safe my file was when I was at the university. I tried to save my file when I had a VPN connection with the TU Delft, but that did not work.
Hello - please try saving to the desktop - just as a test. Does that much work?
-Pascal
It worked when saving an empty file, directly to the desktop. But after saving it, Rhino crashed again.
I’ve send in these crash reports a couple of times.
Hello - thanks for sending the crash reports, and can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and paste the results here?
thanks,
-Pascal
This is what the SystemInfo says: (Rhino 5 worked on this computer without any issues. The problem started when I had to upgrade to Rhino 6 because of the educational license)

I tried saving it to the desktop again. The first time via ‘save as’, it works. After pressing ‘save’ two times again I get this pop-up:
After pressing OK, Rhino crashes and I get the ‘Rhino error reporting’-window again.
@m.m.derond did you send in your crash report using the same email address that you use to login to Discourse? If so, I can’t find the crash report in our system.
This is what I encounter
- I open rhino 6
- choose the template for small object - millimeter
- created a couple of spheres
- “save as” to the desktop works
- pres “save” one time
- then the Rhinoceros 6 failed to save pops up
- when I press OK, it has not saved my work
- about 1 minute after the failed to save message, I get the “Rhino encountered a problem and needs to close” message (I’ve send in a new crash report, at the same time that I post this: Feb 12th at 9:27AM (UTC+1))
More info I can’t give you. I can repeat these exact steps and each time Rhino crashes, so its highly reproducible. I’ve tried reinstalling Rhino 6, doesn’t work either. I hope you can help me with this problem, because it’s very inconvenient for me that I am not able to do anything with Rhino at the moment.
I’ve seen this happen when saving is done to a networked location.
Is your profile (the user data, including the C:\Users\Maartje\Documents folder) such a networked location provided by your university?
