    user closes the drawing (unsaved). i want to make sure that drawing
    is saved no matter what, even if user said 'no' on 'save file?'
    dialog... i know it can be done in objectarx (and i've tried), but it's
    too complicated. anyone knows quick (or not quick but working) way to
    do that? thanks for any suggestions or comments...

    why do i need that: we're doing GIS, so changes in drawing are
    reflected in database, and if drawing is not saved - we have
    inconsistency...

    In VBA, open the VBA editor and in ThisDrawing under the AutoCAD
    objects in any project.

    Create the BeginClose event and place the code ThisDrawing.Save

    eg.
    Private Sub AcadDocument_BeginClose()

    ThisDrawing.Save
    End Sub

    Regardless of what the user chooses 'Yes' or 'No' to saving the file
    upon closing the drawing, the drawing will be saved


    I hope this helps
