The Database.SaveComplete event.
You may (or may not) want to filter out auto-saves
(I don't since if AutoCAD crashes, the autosave file
may be used).

Thanks Tony,
So would you trap an event or a command?

Reconcling changes to external data is something that's typically
done in response to save notifications. Every time a user saves
a file that's been changed since it was opened or last saved, is
where I usually update externally-dependent data.

Thanks for the reply Tony,
We are writing an app that maintains space data in a SQL Server database and
synchronises it with blocks in the cad file - update attributes, potentially
replace / add delete blocks.
Ideally it would be nice to trap the Yes, No Cancel to the close file /
AutoCad command and work interactively with that i.e. If Yes ensure database
changes are saved, No discard them and Cancel cancel the close command.
Is this possible and should I trap the command "Close" rather than the begin
close event? Is there a vb.net sample anywhere of these approaches.
Many thanks
Dave

The DBMOD system variable tells you if the active document
has been changed since it was opened or last saved.
Unfortunately, by the time the BeginDocumentClose event fires,
the user will already have been prompted to save changes and
if they answer yes, the file will be saved.
Perhaps you can tell us what your ultimate goal is?

I have manged to trap open and current using:-
AddHandler docMan.DocumentCreated, AddressOf dwgOpen
AddHandler docMan.DocumentBecameCurrent, AddressOf dwgBecameCurrent
I need to trap the close and potentially cancel and can i tell if the file
has been changed since it was opened?
I can trap when a document is being destroyed using:-
AddHandler docMan.DocumentToBeDestroyed, AddressOf dwgClose
but it is too late to read from the file or cancel the close.
I tried the following:-
Dim doc As Document =
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
AddHandler doc.BeginDocumentClose, AddressOf DwgCloseFile
Public Sub DwgCloseFile(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentBeginCloseEventArgs)
'this is required as acad starts with Drawing1.dwg and these automatically
get closed when a drawing is opened
If sender.isactive Then
'what do i need in here to trap the close and potentially cancel and can i
tell if the file has been changed since it was opened?
end if
End Sub
