Greetings all,We recently installed v2008 and there are a
couple of users that are experiencing a problem when closing drawings.
Normally after a change is made and you close the drawing or the
AutoCAD session you'll get a dialog box asking if you want to save
changes; Yes, No or Cancel. In this case no dialog box appears, the
drawing is closed yet all the changes are saved. Convenient perhaps but
not always the desired course of action one wants to take.Anyone know what's going on here? I looked for a variable for this but could not find one.Thanks

Press "Ctrl" and "s" on the keyboard at the same time and then close the window to avoid the "Save changes..?" window.Sometimes changes made in drawings might not be expected to save.

You can use a reactor to perform Save on the Close event.

I'd also be interested in knowing how to turn the autosave on.
