Re: cannot save file
I guess, by "drawing in part design" you mean a sketch. If so, you probably can't save anything because you have the sketch in edit mode (if that is the case, FreeCAD will refuse to close, and you'll find that Save As is grayed, as is many of other stuff). If so, click the leave sketch button, or hit close on the task pane.

Re: cannot save file
Actually you can save when in Sketch edit mode. You just can't close the document.DeepSOIC wrote:If so, you probably can't save anything because you have the sketch in edit mode
Maybe it's the special character in user path problem again. If the username contains special characters, FreeCAD 0.14.3700 on Windows won't be able to save.
There's a topic about it from a few weeks ago.
Re: cannot save file
jopp, are you trying to save your FreeCAD file in a path where folders have accented characters or other type of international characters?
As a test try to save in C:\temp or some other folder with no special character.

Re: cannot save file
This has been improved...hopefully fixed...in 0.15dev...it would be interesting to hear if you find if it works perfectly in the latest official snapshot of 0.15dev.
Re: cannot save file
"Saving" works for me when I'm in the Sketcher Workbench.
Procedure: (tab) Sketch | Leave Sketch | (tab) File | Save As | (complete the dialog box).
