How to disable autosave for DWG/DXF files in OpenBuildings Designer


Steps to Accomplish 

  1. From the backstage go to Settings >> Configuration >> Configuration Variables


  2. Search for variable: MS_DWGAUTOSAVE


           If MS_DWGAUTOSAVE is Undefined, by default every 300 seconds the autosave function will run.

  1. Click on Edit, and add a New Value of "0" (Zero)

Alternatively, one can also:
1. Manually edit the .ucf or standards.cfg files
2. Add the line: MS_DWGAUTOSAVE = 0
3. Save the file
4. Restart OpenBuildings Designer
