'Save All' Function not workig

[rudhamstile]

Just noticed that the handy 'Save All' command on the upper drawing tabs (right click) doesn't do what its told any more for me. Any ideas anyone?

Are you 100% sure, I just tried it and what it doesn't do is update the save time of the files in the folders (it does update the time on dwl and dwl2 files) but it does actually update the dwg. If you make some changes and run the "save all" you see no change but close the drawings and you won't be prompted to save again they will just close. Open again and you see the changes have been made, it is just the time stamp doesn't alter.

Well it just prompted me to save (again) when I went to close the other dwgs

Works here, but that's beside the point.

How many drawings do you have open? are they in the same folder or a variety of folders? I only tested with 2 drawings in the same folder, and the only sign of success was when the dwl files updated, can you see some dwl files change time or none of those either.

Do you just need to restart your PC?
Your LT version is...? ABOUT command will give you the accurate listing.
Your WindowsOS is...?

Thankyou for the replies and suggestions gentlemen. I haven't the inclination to pursue this further as its only a minor annoyance for me, but will keep an eye on it from time to time.

Thanks again

Really? What about anyone looking for a solution to this? You haven't even verified to us if the saves did go through. It's quite possible that the saves were executed but something happened in the files after the save prompting AutoCAD to ask to save the changes.

How about helping someone else out and verifying that the save all is not working as you stated? Just because you get asked to save again doesn't mean that the save didn't go through, it just means something changed after the save.
