Do you receive a warning message "A journal file could not be created.
Auto recover will not work. Another SolidWorks session running" every time you open SOLIDWORKS? |
Warning – Auto recover will not work. |
The path to the auto-recovery log "swxJRNL.swj" is not correct. The reasons for this message can be:
- You do not have write permission for the folder, which can be the case on a secure network in a folder which is read-only for users.
- A journal file is already in use by another SolidWorks session, either on your machine or on another machine, which can be caused by:
- A second session of SolidWorks trying to create a journal file in the same location as the first.
- A session of SolidWorks terminated abnormally and the journal file not having been terminated completely.
- More than one user double-clicked files in the same folder to start SolidWorks, which can happen in shared network folders.
