Persisting mechanical structure in 2005

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to make sure this happens without having to use the Save As command every time? On a related note: who's bright idea was it to set the default save format to something which whacks mechanical structure? And why is there no default option for saving to ACAD M 2005? -- There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't have to do a SAVEAS to retain structure. I have the open/save format set to AutoCAD 2004 dwg format and this works OK. If I reopen the drawing, the structure is still there. I agree with you that it is misleading, it should say "AutoCAD Mechanical 2005 .dwg".

Frank,
Could you give the steps to reproduce the problem you are facing? It would be useful if you could post the file you are using.

You should not have to "Saveas" to preserve structure.
