Saving Dialog Box Warning

Post by algrass » Tue Aug 18, 2015 7:11 pm

I keep getting the attached dialog box and it does not make sense to me. It seems to warn that it is saving in an older Autocad version format but I fail to understand why it comes up. Even if I save a file in R17 the next time I save the file again this dialog box appears again.

If you're not worried about 24bit colors, you can switch the warning off under
Edit > Application Preferences > Load/Save > Save As

The warning should only be displayed when saving to DXF R15 or older. Note that if you load an R15 drawing and then use File > Save, the file format version will still be R15 and the warning will be shown.
