Hey,

If you working from within a network, there must be someone whose already opened the drawing and is actively working/using it. Try save as to a different location.

The error message in your screenshot simply means you cannot save your file down to an older version of DWG than 2018dwg file format without eliminating or exploding those custom objects.

Hi,

first please make sure that you have installed all updates, when you start command _ABOUT then you should see "AutoCAD" as product name and "P 162.0.0 AutoCAD 2019.1.2" as product version.

Also, in case you have got the file from anyone else, try these steps:

turn on PROXYNOTICE
reopen that file
do you get messages about proxies in your drawing? If so upload a screenshot from that dialog, maybe installing an object enabler might help.
