Hello everyone.
I was given a DWG format file to do a simple change. But AutoCAD won't let me save the file.
After saving the file this error message occurred: Drawings wont save
Also
Unknown error
The version of AutoCAD is 2016.
HP Envy laptop running 8.1.
Please help! Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated

I had a similar problem with my Onecnc Mill Expert. I called support and they told me you can not have any wierd characters in the Dxf file name . I had an underscore(_) character in the name. After I removed it I was able to save the file as a Dxf.
 
This happens from time to time and while I do not know the cause of the problem I can offer a solution.
In the command line type "FILEDIA" and set it to 1. This will allow the prompt to come up again instead of showing up in the command line. If it happens again I might suggest to go to the "how to fix AutoCAD error codes" section.
