    Auto Save Problems

    77 Views, 2 Replies

    My auto save keeps shutting off.

    I drawing in Model Space, Plot or Publish in paper space. Some times I Plot if just print one tab, but if printing multiple tabs I publish.

     

    What could be causing Auto Save to turn off? Is there a fix?

     

    AutoCAD 2009

     

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems Publish will turn off Autosave.

     

    I guess ACAD doesn't like it when it's plotting and the Autosave fires off.

    Nail on the head DJ.

     

    Autosave gets switched off to keep from forcing a Regen during a Save and disrupting the Plot routine.

    The OP can add Autosave Variable to a Macro or two that they often go to to reset this if they wish.
