    Exit a file without saving changes
     

    With thanks to Karl Peterson for this tip.

    Want to close a file without saving your changes? Then go and turn off Workspace > Preferences > Operation > Automatically Save Design Changes

    (In older versions, the option read Immediately Save Design Changes.)

    Now MicroStation will operate like many other software packages and ask you if you want to save your changes when exiting.
