Topic: autocad 2019 propmpting for dwg recovery when opening dwgs

[kdub_nz]

i do not get a recovery prompt if i dont use my custom code.
I have used this custom command for a few years. never been an issue till the new version

Andrew...

Why do you need the ver.20 check in the code?
What dwg-version are you saving your files to in R2019?

It's appears either no one here has R2019 or no one wants to try your code on their PC: are you simply trying to save your file in two locations at the same time?

The check for version >=20 is only for usage of command-s

This works for me in vanilla 2019

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun c:nsave (/ activedoc docfullname backuppath archivename)
2.   (setq activedoc  (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
3.         backuppath "C:\\ACADBACK\\"
4.   )
5.   (if (zerop (getvar "dwgtitled"))
6.     (progn (initdia)
7.            (if (>= (atof (getvar "acadver")) 20.0)
8.              (command-s ".saveas")
9.              (command ".saveas")
10.            )
11.     )
12.     ;; else it's already named , so
13.     (vla-save activedoc)
14.   )
15.   (if
16.     (and
17.       (not (zerop (strlen (setq docfullname (vla-get-fullname activedoc)))))
18.       (or (vl-file-directory-p backuppath) (vl-mkdir backuppath))
19.       (setq archivename (strcat backuppath (vl-filename-base (vla-get-name activedoc)) ".dwg"))
20.     )
21.      (progn (if (findfile archivename)
22.               (vl-file-delete archivename)
23.             )
24.             (vl-file-copy docfullname archivename)
25.      )
26.      ;; else
27.      (alert "Ooooops. Unable to copy or deternine  Filename.")
28.   )
29.   (prompt (strcat "\n\nFile Saved..." archivename))
30.   (prompt (strcat "\n\nFile Saved..." docfullname))
31.   (princ)
32. )
33.

Post the code, let's all have a look at it.

The code is here : http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=54165.msg587819#msg587819

andrew: I meant to ask ;
What happens if you add Audit the drawing after you save it with your routine?

and, are you still using the same routine?

dont know. I havent thought about it.
How would i add that in?

check for versions because there are a few in the office who refuse to leave R2014
and yes the code is saving the dwg in 2 locations at the same time

Lisp works fine here in R2019 as well: wonder what other settings Andrew.. has that we do not.

if no one else is getting the recovery prompt. it has to be a setting somewhere else thats triggering it.

i appreciate the feedback now i will have to hunt down the cause.
