"Command in progress" after save as

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am facing a problem during saving file in AutoCAD (2013 / 2014) using "Save As" menu.

Our software is AutoCAD based and we allow user to work with many drawings in single session.

If I change one drawing file and click "Save As" then it saves file with new name at different location.

However later when I try to perform some other action in same or different drawing, then getting following message -

                document "....dwg" has a command in progress.

                Hit enter to cancel or [Retry]

Hitting enter or retry does not help and I need to kill AutoCAD exe and then restart it for further work.

Such problem is not observed if I save the drawing, on save prompt while closing the drawing.

Also, this problem is observed when "FIBERWORLD" is "1" and not when it has value as "0".

Please reply -

If you resolved such issue by fixing code, if yes then how?

Or

If this is the problem from AutoCAD side.

Thanks a lot for your time.

With regards

ND

It sounds like you locked a document and didn't dispose of your documentlock when you'd finished.

Thanks for you hint...

In our code, "acDocManagerPtr()->lockDocument(..)" & "acDocManagerPtr()->unlockDocument(..);" is called in many methods.

Went through each sequence of lock & unlock call.

In 1 method, found that only "acDocManagerPtr()->lockDocument(..)" is called and respective "unlock" is not written there.

So updated code and added "acDocManagerPtr()->unlockDocument(..);" there.

This fix has resolved our problem.

Thanks again for your reply.

with regards

ND.

There is a class AcAxDocLock which can help you. Its constructor lock document and destructor unlock document.

For example:

{
  AcAxDocLock docLock;
  // Now current document is locked
  ...
}
// Now current document is unlocked
