Autosave on Close

Greetings all,

We recently installed v2008 and there are a couple of users that are experiencing a problem when closing drawings. Normally after a change is made and you close the drawing or the AutoCAD session you'll get a dialog box asking if you want to save changes; Yes, No or Cancel. In this case no dialog box appears, the drawing is closed yet all the changes are saved. Convenient perhaps but not always the desired course of action one wants to take.

Anyone know what's going on here? I looked for a variable for this but could not find one.

Thanks

this may help

Is this a joke? Another guy named Ben asking the same strange question on the same day??

Press "Ctrl" and "s" on the keyboard at the same time and then close the window to avoid the "Save changes..?" window.

Sometimes changes made in drawings might not be expected to save.

doesn't CTRL-S save? The OP wants to close the drawing WITHOUT saving. Once any change is made to the drawing, including zoom or pan AutoCAD thinks a change has been made.
