Autocad Save All Open Drawings
Close AutoCAD quickly and safely — and get home earlier!
Just in time for the holidays, when you may want to rush out the door, here is a guest blog post from Paul Munford. Your family will thank you!
We've all done it. You are beavering away at the office, totally engrossed in the Music on your iPod in your work, when you realize that it was time to go home minutes ago!
I want to make sure that you know about 3 really handy commands that will help you to close down a lot of open files very quickly (and safely).
Save everything
The first command is an Express tool called SAVEALL. Simply type saveall at the command line, and all your open drawings will be saved, but remain open.
Close everything
The second command is a standard AutoCAD command called CLOSEALL. Once again, simply type closeall at the command line, and all your drawings will be closed Lickety Split.
Or do both
The final command is another Express tool called QQUIT. This tool will attempt to save and close all your drawings, and then close AutoCAD down completely.
Note: If a drawing has not been saved yet, all of these commands will prompt for a file name. If you have a blank drawing file open that you don't need to save – just hit 'Cancel', AutoCAD will still process the rest of the files.
Go Home
Don't stop to thank me – have a great evening!
