BeginClose event - catch 'Save?' dialog

I am using the Document_BeginClose event to do some document management work, however it seems this event doesn't actually fire at the *start* of a close event.

Before the event fires, AutoCAD first asks if you want to save the drawing. This is a pain, because this is basically what I want to do (save the drawing in a special way). So the user is seeing 2 lots of 'do you want to save?' dialogs, and more annoyingly - the first one is not mine - gonna cause alot of confusion.

This is completely different to how other VBA-aware apps work. BeginClose (or DocumentClose-type events) are raised before anything else happens...

Is there a way around this?

 

Hi,

I you are using AutoCAD 2005, there is a new event called BeginDocClose.
This one lets you cancel the close if you wish. My guess is that it occurs
before the user is asked the document.

I checked with AutoCAD 2004, this event is not documented. So new to 2005,
or a kept secret for the past versions...

I tried it and it does fire earlier than the BeginClose but still only fires after prompting the user if they want to save.
