Cad Automatically saves as and makes many copies?

Anonymous

I've been having this problem since the beginning of the semester (1 month) and I have no idea what started it. Every time I start a new drawing, (I use acad.dwt) and save it, cad starts automatically saving versions of it whenever it feels like. In the folder that I saved the drawing in, new ones start showing up. For instance, if the file was called house.dwg, a house 2.dwg, then house 3.dwg just start showing up in the folder. As you can see in the attached picture, it has gone up to 21. The only file that I ever saved or saved as is "moodel.dwg" (ignore the stupid name). I noticed while taking that screenshot that it is also happening to my sketchup files, apparently? So it might be a Mac problem. It has happened to every single file for the past month. It started when I was running Yosemite and Autocad for Mac 2015. I upgraded to both El Capitan and Autocad for Mac 2016, thinking one of those would solve the problem. But alas, it didn't. 

 

If anyone has any ideas please help me out! I'm running out of patience!

But then why on my side on one machine I don't have any issues with iCloud and on the other machine with the same OS and same AutoCAD version but in the other place - I have issues similar to yours?
