File Save As in AutoCAD 2005

File Save As in AutoCAD 2005

File Save As in AutoCAD 2005

(OP)
I'm working in AutoCAD 2005 with some files that were created as AutoCAD 2004 drawings.  I need to save them as AutoCAD 2004 drawings to avoid losing information in them that was created by LANDesk.  Every time I re-open the files, however, my "File save as" settings under "Tools/Options..." have changed back to "AutoCAD 2000/2000 LT Drawing."  No matter what I do, I can't get it to remember the "AutoCAD 2004 Drawing" setting.  Is there another setting I'm missing that's overriding this when I open and close drawings?

tools>options>open and save>file save> choose 2000 will always save your files in 2000 format

Try setting the options, close AutoCAD. Restart it and check the settings a second time. It should "stick" if AutoCAD closes normally.
