ERROR(SPMHOD-I): Design has been corrupted, saving as 'AUTOSAVE.SAV'.

Hi everyone,

 

A few weeks ago, I started receiving this message and I'm trying to track down the cause.

 

Some days I get none and some days I get as many as ten.

 

I have checked the files with DB Doctor, but no errors are found.

 

I am using Version 25.1. of OrCAD

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Kevin

    Hey kevcon , Go to Setup>User Preferences and  try setting the variables db_no_sector_retune_on_save and db_no_sector_retune_on_open and check the outcome. Try using the Smart Search feature in User preferences window to locate the variable.
