Delphi 7 -- AutoCAD 2005 SaveAs Error

Code worked in AutoCAD 2000. Upgraded to AutoCAD 2005 last week and now I get an "Unexpected Server Error" sometimes -- sometimes not.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

[pre]
procedure SaveDrawing(Drawing: AcadDocument);
var
FileName: string;
begin
Drawing.PurgeAll;
Drawing.Regen(acAllViewports);
FileName := GetFilePath(DwgInfoForm.AutocadMasterFileEditBox.Text) +
RightStr(DwgInfoForm.DrawingNumberEditBox.Text, 6);
if SheetNumber < 10 then
begin
FileName := FileName + '0' + IntToStr(SheetNumber) + '.dwg';
end
else
begin
FileName := FileName + IntToStr(SheetNumber) + '.dwg';
end;
Drawing.SaveAs(FileName, acNative, EmptyParam); // Stops on this line ******
//Drawing.Close(False, EmptyParam);
end;
[/pre]

 

Hi Jackrabbit,

I don't speak Delphi 7, but as a suggestion I would check if the filename is
valid. Plus I don't see where you put a value in EmptyParam. Could it be
that ?

Filenames are valid. EmptyParm is a "placeholder", if you will, for an optional parameter. It's pre-defined in Delphi, which requires that you always pass a parameter, whether it's optional or not, to an OLE server.

I'm beginning to wonder if it has anything to do with the network version of AutoCAD. Our Acad2000 systems were all standalone versions. When we upgraded, we went with a network license version. Does AutoCAD go out and check for a valid license everytime a SAVE command is issued?

Thanks anyway for the thoughts...

 

AutoCAD checks that the licence server is still running on a regular basis,
I think it is every 15 minutes.

The network version should work as fine as the standalone version. Are you
saving-as on a network drive when the problem arises ? If yes, try to save
locally to see if it does better. One other thought: was the AV software
disabled when AutoCAD was installed ?
