Auto Save Settings

By default, the AutoCAD Auto Save interval for a user, and whether this facility is active, is derived from the project configuration settings. Refer to the Miscellaneous Configuration Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program for details.

In order to override these project settings for an individual user, the following code in the "UserUtils" macro can be edited: The macro is accessible from Users" module of the VBA editor as described above.

Public Function SetProjectAutoSaveTimeSettings()

'' Set Autosave intervals according to value set in the project

Dim Value As String

Dim AutoSaveFlag As String

Dim SaveIntervals As String

Dim Pref As AcadPreferences

On Error Resume Next

Set Pref = Application.Preferences

AutoSaveFlag = "AUTOSAVE"

SaveIntervals = "SAVEINTERVAL"

Value = UCase(GetProjectDirective(AutoSaveFlag))

If Trim(Value) = "YES" Then

Value = UCase(GetProjectDirective(SaveIntervals))

Pref.OpenSave.AutoSaveInterval = CInt(Value)

Else

Pref.OpenSave.AutoSaveInterval = 0

End If

Err.Clear

End Function

Edit the highlighted line as required, e.g.

Pref.OpenSave.AutoSaveInterval = 40
