What comes up?

Do you mean that ACAD is asking you if you want to save changes to
Drawing1.dwg?

That is correct, when we close Carlson, we are asked whether or not we want
to save changes to the current drawing. That is fine, but we are then asked
if we want to save changes to Drawing 1, which is always open in the
backround unless manually closed. This is annoying. They fixed it in 2006
but it is back in 2007.

I have the same problem. When closing Carlson 2007 Standalone, it always

asks if I want to save changes to drawing1.

When a drawing is opened, DBMOD = 0. This means that the drawing has not
been modified. If the drawing is modified, then DBMOD will equal a value
greater than 0.

When AutoCAD is closed (or Drawing 1 is closed), if DBMOD does not = 0,
then you are prompted to save this drawing. This is not a Carlson thing,
it's the way all Windows programs works. You wouldn't want to
accidentally press the "X" and have a drawing closed without
verification, right?

The solution is to find out WHAT is modifying "Drawing 1". Most likely,
it's a startup routine (yours or Carlson's).

I also get the same message, although I haven't done anything to dwg 1.
I think everyone probably is. It's just a pesky little aggravation.
What's surprising is, this was fixed in the last patch for r2006, and it
cropped up again in 2007.

Then it sounds like Carlson is doing something at startup to modify the
drawing database.

Changing a drawing sysvar is considered modification of the drawing
also. My bet is on this...

This is not a Carlson or Autodesk problem; the casue of this resides
somewhere within your program's settings and variables.

One way to avoid this is to open ACAD/Carlson by clicking on the drawing
you need rather than using the program icon. This will prevent
drawing1.dwg from opening on startup in the first place. The downside to
this is that clicking on the icon is what tells SurvCADD to check for
updates on the web.

ACAD goes through many processes during its startup routine, and some of
these require a drawing to be open before they can complete. If you didn't
click on a drawing to start ACAD/Carlson, then the program will open one
for you.

The 'save changes to drawing' prompt is appearing as Terry described,
because somewhere a system variable got changed before you closed
Drawing1.dwg. If you try to close Drawing1 immediately (before you do
ANYTHING else), and it still prompts you to save, then you have an
automated sequence working somewhere within your startup routine that is
altering a sysvar or other 'behind the scenes' setting. If it allows you
to close without saving, then you are physically altering a system
variable (or something similar) during your session in the other drawing.

So, in review, you have two possible work-around/solutions:

1. Track down what is occuring during startup and disable it if possible.
Could be a LISP routine, or some setting you changed within your program's
settings.
2. Initiate ACAD/Carlson by clicking on a drawing rather than the program
icon.

Hope this helps. . . . . . .
