Issue
"... I'm back and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I'm working in ASE and am getting this after doing several commands. For example I was defining links for a grading design, then I would get an error message. I tried to save but am unable.
Specify grade path [Linear/Curved]<L>:
Enter percent grade from 'PARENT' to 'CHILD'<-2.1229%>: .5
; error: bad argument type: numberp: nil
Command:
_QSAVE ; error: non-serializable lisp data: #<%catch-all-apply-error%>
I am unable to save the drawing. I tried saving using saveas and tried saving to another drive. Can you please tell me if this is an autocad, windows, or ASE issue? I can get out of autocad, reboot the computer and the same issue returns. I am using C3D 2018 with the latest ASE 2017, and Windows 7 Pro…"

This is caused by a known defect in ASE.
The AutoCAD Message and error condition at the command line occur whenever Flow Labels have been passively generated as a result of the vertical design "Productivity" setting being enabled. This feature creates Flow Labels automatically when Constraints or Connections are created. This problem occurs in the 2017 version of ASE.
​
Solution
Open the vertical design drawing
(Ribbon) Select: [vrtCtrl] -> Flow Labels -> Preferences
In the FLow Labels Preferences dialog, DISABLE "Productivity"
Run ASE "Selective Audit..."
Close the dialog
Save the drawing
Re-start Civil 3D
Thanks for sharing that information!
But I figured out the issue. When a flow label is present and you delete a marker, the program deletes the slope text and not the arrow. This causes the same message as the auto-label audit. I had leftover arrows under new ones that I added after the auto-label didn't work.
Nope. I saved/closed multiple times. This is what i see when opening and when a initializing and when auditing. (see below)
That sounds like cached memory still present in the drawing.
Try saving the drawing then restarting Civil 3D.
Sorry, After I turned it off and did the Selective Audit, I was able to save. But every time I run the Selective Audit it keeps finding/fixing the corrupt flow labels. So I don't think it's really cleaning the drawing.
Even after disabling the setting?
Got the same issue
