In MicroStation V8, auto-save writes your design changes to the file periodically. There may be instances where you open a DWG file and you do not want your work automatically saved.

Background

When DWG files are open for editing, changes made in the DWG file are not automatically save as they would be in the default settings for with DGN files. Files must be manually saved, saved at time of closing the file or they can be set to automatically save. In instances where you may open a DWG file to make temporary edits or no edits at all how can the automatic save feature for DWG be invoked?

Steps to Accomplish

1. To disable the autosave option:
2.  Open any file in MicroStation
3.  Go to Workspace>Configuration
4.  Select Category File Saving
5.  Select DWG/DXF >File Auto-Save
6.  Click the Edit button
7.  Enter "0"
8.  Click OK and click Yes to save the changes (stored in the active .ucf file)
9.  Restart MicroStation

If set to zero, no auto-save is done while the file is open. The file is automatically saved on exit or when switching to a different file.
