Fail to Draw Error

RasheedKhaleel

I recently got a new work computer, and made the switch to Windows 10 64-bit. My ArcMap is version 10.3

I've noticed that if I have an mxd open for awhile, it tends to, for lack of a better phrase, screw up connections to any and all file geodatabase. It does not "lose" the connection, I can still access feature properties, etc, and it does not give the "red exclamations." However, if I browse source connections, and retype the path, it still does not draw and will give this error:

One or more layers failed to draw:

FDO error: 0
General function failure
[File GDB layer name]: General function failure

My only recourse is to close and restart ArcMap. The article http://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000005082 did not provide help I could use in this case. I never had this problem with previous Windows or ArcMap versions. Any similar encounters?

Matthew, did this error message ever really stop you from your work too much? Or did you have to fully close and re-open ArcMap?

Maybe moving to ArcGIS Pro is a work-able solution?

Yes all of our data is in a file gdb.

Does this problem only occur for data stored in file gdbs?

I have the exact same issue as you describe above. Did you ever find a solution to this?

Rasheed,

I also would get the fail to draw error when having arcmap open for a long time on my windows 10 machine (running 10.3 and 10.3.1). I just kind of ignored it, closed and re-opened arcmap and things were back to normal.
