   Scripts are not files that you download.  They are files individual users create to satisfy their own needs.  Here is a simple script I wrote that opens a drawing (1TA996.dwg), does a Zoom > Extents, executes an Audit and saves the drawing before closing it.

-open
c:\DWG\PIDs\1TA996
zoom e
audit y
qsave
close

This script I named as mysample.scr (SCR is the file extension for a script file).  I "call" this script from the AutoCAD command line by typing mysample.scr then pressing the Enter key.  The script runs.

I apologize for not being able to fully answer your question as I thought Vladimir had done so.

	no no its all good JC...good info altogether. But basically a script has to be made? and saved? and then called up? But back to the basics, is there any way to disable acad from considering the pan and zoom commands worthy of a save all in all? that script idea seems good for the 'per dwg' occassion...i want a blanket change to the system...

	Made...saved...and then run. I'm still searching for an answer. How about a one button macro that closes the drawing and immediately answers "No" to the save changes dialog box? It will NOT suppress the dialog box however. For that I think you would need to do a bit of programming and I am not talking a script either. Edited by John Connor - 11.Jan.2012 at 18:54

	The answer to your problem comes from ASMI. He says that VBA can resolve the problem and offered up this: Sub Close_Open() ThisDrawing.SendCommand "open vbCr" ThisDrawing.Close (False) End Sub Add the file to your Startup Suite and make a button macro ^C^C(vl-vbarun "Close_Open") to run it from within AutoCAD.
