    Zooming Cancels Save As command?

    I am trying to "save as" a dxf several shapes in a drawing.  Except that when I use my mouse wheel to zoom in, I get this odd message:

     

    "xxx.dwg" has a command in progress.
    Hit enter to cancel or [Retry]: *Cancel*

     

    Never had this happen until this morning.

     

    Any thoughts?

    Is this a one-off, or every time?

    Restart the program

    Reboot the machine...

    let us know what you've tried.

     

    I first ran into the "command in progress" error when I was messing about in 3D orbit.  Try searching the web for "Command in Progress", it's been around for a while.

    Thanks for the response.  I rebooted, still having the problem.  I looked up some other pages, and the issue is not related to tables. 

     

    here is what I see if I type the 2 suggested check commands

     

    Command: cmdactive
    CMDACTIVE = 1 (read only)
    Command: CMDnames
    CMDNAMES = "SETVAR" (read only)

     

    I've saved as a new drawing, same set of stuff.  The issue is when I try to save dxfs from shapes within.  Is the (read only) something to look into?

    Sorry I missed replying sooner.

     

    Don't think that's a problem.  Some sysvars are editable and some are read only, just the way it is.

     

    Sorry I don't have any more suggestions.  Hope someone else can jump in here & help.
