Automatic Save Problem....

Hello. I've written a program that creates a plot file whenever the user
saves his/her drawing. The app works great except for one caveat: when
the user does a 'copy with base point' command on a block, AutoCAD saves the
program, thereby kicking off my autoplot program (I'm using the end_save
event to run my app). Does anyone have a good idea on how to check if the
save is from a user vs. acad?

I'm not sure of how to go about learning if copy with base point has been
used.

Thank you for your help!

Steve

 

Steven,

You could try putting your routine in the BeginClose event.

To find out if the file is being saved by COPYBASE
or COPYCLIP, look at the filename. If the filename
starts with "A$" then you should ignore the event.

 

Thank you Tony! That's exactly what I was looking for (I already skip the
event if it ends with .??$
