I am a quality control on drawings in my company,and have to brows several hundred drawings a day. For most drawings, i don't have to revise anything, it's just zoom in and out,and occationaly you may accidentally click on some line of the drawing , have it stretched or moved,AutoCAD2004 will prompt for save upon exit.

I really hate this! Because only 0.1 percent of the drawings will be revised.So I want to force AutoCAD2004 not to prompt the SAVE window upon exit.

Any tips or messages from you will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Look at this but it is not that convenient.

Maybe it would be easier to open your DWG files directly in the read-only mode - they won't save to the same DWG file.
