AutoCAD 2000/2000i/2002 DWG Format Archive

Guess what...
AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 SP1 has the same problem. Can not use SAVE because I get the following error:
"One or more objects in this drawing cannot be saved to the specified format. The operation was not completed and no file was created."

Excellent :/ So what format would that be, "dwg" perhaps?

So here i sit trying to figure out how to save the drawing I am working on, since neither QSAVE, SAVEAS, nor SAVE work. Guess I'll just wait....for a fix from Autocad, oh hold on this thread started with Autocad 2000 and I'm using 2009. I'd better go for lunch while I'm waiting.

I'm using Autocad LT 2009, version C.608.0 (UNICODE)

I get the following error:
Document "K:\3-1932-3\cad\TPH Cross Sections and Contours\Suburban Norwich Site
map.dwg" has a command in progress.

after I have opened and edited an excel table (pasted into a CAD layer). When this happens, I cannot save, save-as, or qsave (using control-s, the file pull-down menu, or the command line). I also cannot close the program. The only way out that I have found is to end the process using the task manager.

Any thoughts?

Can you do me a favor and turn off autosave? I just ran into this problem for the very first time. Ever since I turned off autosave, the problem hasn't come back (yet). I'm just trying to narrow this problem and see if autosave could possibly be responsible. I would appreciate it if you could post your results

[#4]

what was i did is.. copied all the object from "Command In Progress" then paste into new autocad2008, your project is already saved!

[#5]

I had to turn off Autosave as my drawing was taking 5 mins to autosave (large drawing) and I still get the 3D orbit/command in progress problem. I usually just close and when it asks "Do you want to save your changes" I click yes. Hassle to reload it, but nothing lost. I use 2004.

Typing "Save" worked for me too. Thanks a lot.

I am running Civil 3D 08 ... typing "save" in the command line worked for me. Glad to know it was that simple.

I have looked through most of this thread (going back to 2005) and I only see questions and solutions about saving the drawing when the "command in progress" error? occurs. However this error? will also prevent plotting. Typing save to save the drawing then closing and re-opening the drawing works, but I would think that AutoDESK could have found time over the past 5 years to fix this. It's pretty annoying. Maybe they will just document it and call it a feature!

Anyway I just wanted to put it out there that plot also doesn't work when the mystery command is not finished. BTW typing plot at the command line does not work.

Not to mention the fact that this site is amongst the slowest sites ever only maybe comparable to MySpace who has over 200 million users and every time I have an "issue" or I should say every time AutoCAD or Inventor has issues that I need to look up, it wastes a ton of my time. 5 years???? Really Autodesk?

In some way shape or form, I'm always on this site losing my mind.

If your product wasn't the only one available 15 years ago it wouldn't be used at all today!!!

Hi there. Just wanted to add my $.02

Using AutoCAD 2009 Mechanical. Have been having the same problem. There is no 3D orbit command running. Nothing running in other files open, etc. I can "X" out of the drawing. And then click "save". But that takes too long and shouldn't be necessary.

  What I have found is that this happans everytime I go to modify (delete , modify, edit, etc) annotative scaled dimensions or text using the properties dialog box. Happens like clock work. So... YES I can get recreate error!

   So, leave that box closed unless you NEED it.

 I hope it helps..
