Errors: One or more drawings have unsaved changes. Save the file so that a DSD file can be created

Issue:

When attempting to check in a feature layer that was edited in AutoCAD Map 3D, the following error is displayed:
Error: “Feature was not saved in the target feature source”

Causes:

Geometry was edited, or removed, from the Model space however, the feature still exists in the spatial table.

• Corrupt index on that table

Solution:

Consider the following options:

• Consult with a Database Administrator and from within SQL Server, or Oracle, rebuild the index of the spatial table that was causing the issue.
• If working with either a SHP or SDF, create a new SDF from within AutoCAD Map 3D:
  1. Connect to the problematic SHP or SDF via Data Connect
  2. In the Display Manager right-click the layer and select “Export Layer Data to SDF”
• Perform a Bulk Copy to a new SDF:
  1. Click on the Create tab
  2. Select SDF under Feature Data Store and leave the Schema as-is
  3. Follow the instructions in the article below to perform a Bulk Copy
