CAD file refuses to close Printed From: CAD Forum Category: EN Forum Name: CAD - general Forum Description: General discussion about CAD, formats, standards, management, licensing, networking, harware, other CAD applications URL: https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13586 Printed Date: 04.Jul.2026 at 06:50 Topic: CAD file refuses to close Posted By: Ernie12131 Subject: CAD file refuses to close Date Posted: 19.Apr.2021 at 14:34 I have one file that does not want to close.  I have tried to close the AutoCAD program and it will not close.  When I try to close the file the usual dialogue box comes up asking if I want to save the file.  Of course, I want to save my work, so I click on yes.  However, nothing happens.  The file allows me to make all changes to edit the drawing except the "save as" and the "Clipboard" functions.  I am not sure at this point if the save function is working on this drawing because I have not been able to close it to check. I am thinking of forcing a shutdown but I am worried I will lose all the hours of work I have done so far.    The drawing is from an Architect but all his other drawings that I am using are working fine.  Ernie.   ------------- Ernie Replies: Posted By: John Connor Date Posted: 21.Apr.2021 at 13:14 Have you tried saving the entire drawing as a block (WBLOCK command) then opening a new drawing and inserting the newly created block? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured.
