Automatic save on 'File Close'

[MrsLC]

Hi all,

When I close a file in ACADE 2015 it has started to automatically save the file, without asking me first.

Does anyone know how I can change this back? There must be a variable somewhere. An internet search showed a tab called 'DWGMAN' - I tried typing 'DWGMAN' into ACADE but it doesn't recognise it.

Thanks.

How do you close the drawing? By pressing the X in the top right corner of the dcoument window? By pressing X on the drawing tab?

I've tried both, AND typing CLOSE at the command line. Always get asked to save if there are changes.

There is no setting that I know of that automatically saves a drawing on exit.

Do you have any 3rd party add on's, especially a "Dwg tabs" on?

One or more of those 3rd party DWG tabs programs had an option to auto save the file upon close.

If you are not sure how to tell, do this.
At the command prompt, type in QAFLAGS, set it to 3.
Then type in ARX <enter> "?" <enter>
This should spit out a list of all the loaded ARX files.
Copy and paste this list in your reply post.
I'll include my list here as an example.
(Then set QAFLAGS back to 0)

"ARX"
Enter an option [Files/Groups/Commands/CLasses/Services/Load/Unload]: ?

Hi rhesusminus,

Thanks for your reply - and for trying to see what happens on your machine.

I use a button on a toolbar that I created aeons ago. It has always asked me to save before, but suddenly it decided to no longer prompt.

I just tried to close by choosing X on the top right corner of the document window - and it asked me about saving! Hmm...

Methinks I shall remove the button.

Thanks for your help!

[MrsLC]

Thanks rkmcswain - that's quite a list!

I will try that - in case something got downloaded in the background.

The button used to work fine, but then suddenly in the middle of stuff it just decided to do its own thing without even asking permission.

Weird.
