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 2014 with the latest ASE 2017, and Windows 7 Pro…"

CAUSE
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
