problems with saving .dwgs on a network
problems with saving .dwgs on a network
(OP)
we are having trouble saving drawing files. we use autocad r-14 and softdesk s8 on a novell 4.11 network and windows 98. we perform in-house civil engineering design for the franklin co. engineer in col. ohio.
the problem occurs after an editing session and the work is saved. we get an error message saying the drawing cannot be saved because it is accessed by another session. we check thru the network and the .dwg is not opened elsewhere. we then have to use the save-as command and rename the drawing.
when we try to delete the original drawing we get an error message saying the file cannot be deleted because it is in use, which it is not! we have checked the properties of the original file for attribute settings (read-only, hidden, ect.) and everything appears ok. this causes problems if the original .dwg is an x-ref. any help would be appreciated. also, this problem is random which adds to the
frustration.

RE: problems with saving .dwgs on a network
resolve the issue. If I remember correctly the problem is with the Novell
side of your network server. I think Autocad has provided a work around
or Novell has a patch. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
