Topic: Is there a quicker way to Save?

[MexicanCustard]

I've got an operation thats adding property sets to MEP objects then adding data to an SQL Table.  In order to keep the SQL database and drawing synced up I use the Document.Save() right after finishing the SQL database update.  Problem is AutoCAD does its normal lock up for 2 mins while these large drawings save.

I tried using Document.SendStringToExecute("_QSAVE", false, false, false) thinking the drawing would save on idle but the document doesn't seem to be saving after my plug in returns control to AutoCAD.

Anybody got a better way to guarantee a save without forcing the user to wait 2 mins after they've waited for my plug in to execute.

How long does a QSAVE take if entered at the command line for the same drawing that takes 2 minutes when you save it via Document.Save() ?
