   Hello,

Is there any possible way to eliminate the pan and zoom commands from triggering a save required? As in limit the 'save drawing' prompt to only come up when something is ACTUALLY changed, not just the view?

just wondering, and yes, im familiar with the pan/zoom combine in undo...

any suggestions? ideas?

	Thanks Vlad!! So if I understood that correctly, I must type 'acad-pop-dbmod' into the command prompt after I've zoomed and panned (or anything) and wish to simply close without saving? Or is there something more universal that just discounts zoom and pan commands altogether?

	Did you run the script? (acad-push-dbmod) _Zoom _E (acad-pop-dbmod) _Close Found this explanation at JTB World Blog: http://blog.jtbworld.com/2007/12/make-changes-to-drawing-without.html Edited by John Connor - 10.Jan.2012 at 23:57

	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.

	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

	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...
