AutoCAD Architecture 2020. Settings migrated from 2019. Win10pro.
This the second time I've had the issue happen to me a couple of times now (same drawing no audit errors) and I'm not sure if it's a general AutoCAD issue or if it's specific to Architecture. I'm not getting any error messages, specific to the issue but I cannot save and exit my drawing as a result of the glitch.
I'm working on a drawing where i need to be able to edit a block and see the background while I edit the block, which is why I'm using refedit. Both times it has happened, I walked away from my desk, and did not "save changes" and exiting out of refedit before I left. When I came back, I resumed working on the drawing and when i click on save changes (or manually refclose/save), the program acts as if it saved as usual. However, when trying to save/close the main file, it tells me that "_QSAVE ** QSAVE command not allowerd during reference editing **" Which tells me that it's still in the reference editor.
To try and save my work, I've tried other functions which are not allowed: saveas, copy to clipboard, cut/paste, refclose. I cannot close out of the drawing at this point and have to end the program through my task manager. Has anyone else had this issue?
The only thing I can think of, and I've changed my PC settings as of this last time, is that when I left my desk, my computer was set to sleep mode and lost connection to our server.
