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. Edited by John Connor - 11.Jan.2012 at 19:00 |

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 |

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...

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. |

Yeah i'm still lost...trying to input commands through the command line to no avail...
but scripts are pretty much files i must download then execute? what file?
Really, I just want to simply ELIMIMATE ALTOGETHER the zoom and pan commands from triggering a 'save as'...if this is not possible tell me now and I can move on. Having to do this each time is not worth the trouble...

Yes, script is a "macro" - a series of commands executed in sequence. You can of course invoke them also individually. And this is what I meant.
Before zooming, do the "push" and after zooming do the "pop". The DBMOD will not be bumped and your drawing close will not prompt for save. You can also preset a new menu button (call it e.g. "SafeZoom") and perform the 3 commands: push;zoom;pop

Tulip: I thought you had used scripts before.
A script is something one uses to apply a set of commands to multiple drawings by specifying a script file and a list of drawings that you would like to apply the script to. |
