AUTOCAD - avoid dirtyflags only by zoom and pan

[Kay_Rethmeier]

Hi,

if an AutoCAD file is opend (doesn't matter, if ACAD vanilla, Mechanical, Architecture or whatever) and the user is JUST LOOKING - means the user is zooming and paning around, maybe selecting something to explain his idea to others - by simple zooming and paning the DWG will be saved, the DWG has a dirtyflag (small asterix at filename)!!!!

With data management this is a bad behaviour, especially with Factory Design Suite this is a silly and totally worse behaviour.

Cool tip

In some vertical products like Architecture the dirtyflag appears immediatly after opening the drawing. That is unacceptable.

I prefer the current way it's been since the beginning of AutoCAD.

If the drawing is modified (pan, zoom, it doesn't matter), then DBMOD is no longer = 0 and you can either choose to save it or not save it.
