I am using AutoCAD 2004 English without add-ins. Yesterday I saved the file and went out, today it did not open:


INTERNAL ERROR:! Saveres.cpp@440: eGeneralMoldingFailure


I tried various recovery options but they didn't work.

Answer by Robert Polubinski

This indicates that the drawing files has been corrupted due to unknown reasons. Autodesk created a page with clear instructions on what to do when this happens.


I suggest you visit the following URL to learn about the possible solutions to this issue or look below:

  • If you are able to open the drawing:
    Save the drawing to an earlier dwg version or use the DXFOUT command to save the file as a dxf and then use the DXFIN command to save the file back to DWG format.

  • If you aren't able to open the drawing:
    Use a tool to convert the dwg-file into a dxf-file

I'm trying to convert my project, made with AutoCAD, in format JPG. Could you help me? I just can select DWG, DXF or DWF file formats.

You have to take a few steps in order to export your content to JPG. Luckily, Autodesk provides the necessary instructions in order to save the file to a raster format. "File" > "Save as" won't do any good, since the procedure is totally different. Access the page through the link below, and you will have the instructions on how to properly save to JPEG.

Note: The instructions are for AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.
