Can anyone help with this AutoCad 2000 question???
(OP)
I am looking for a way to change the "Save Changes To" prompt every time you go to open a new drawing. (Even if you have done NOTHING to the drawing)
Sometimes I am just looking at something in a drawing, or even if I just PRINT a drawing, when I go to open another drawing I ALWAYS get that promt. It's very anoying, especially if you open a lot of drawings that you do nothing to.
With Acad 14, this was not an issue, It did not promp you unless you actually DID something to the drawing.
Anyone know how I can change this to be like 14???
Thanks
Glen

(COMMAND "VBASTMT" "ThisDrawing.Close 0" "")
Make a macro tool and write this line into it.
When you want to close a dwg without seeing the save yes/no prompt, you click on this tool.
Setting expert = 5 is not helping in this case.
Was there a check box in options for this or is it a false deja vu I feel here? I looked for and could not find it but cant hang off the feeling.

It is the zooms that are percieved as changes in the drawing. If drawing were not zoomed or penned, and if there were no version update (your point, precisely), on closing there would be no message box asking.
RE: Can anyone help with this AutoCad 2000 question???
But I think I have found my real problem.
It is happening after I PRINT a drawing.
If I just open it, I can close it.
But if I open and PRINT it, then I get the stupid prompt.
I am saving over 14 files but i am saving them AS 14 files so there is no update there.
I think the printing thing is triggering the prompt.
Anyway to turn THAT off???

I've seen both the print and zoom do this but it's never bothered me enough to try to "fix" it. Hopefully someone else can help you.
Good Luck,
