    Thanks for helping with the validation...I had been using the subscription renewal numbers instead of the initial installation numbers.Statistics: Posted by John Daglish — Sun Sep 20, 2020 11:06 am

    Your DataCAD 21 license was already activated on a computer. It was last run on that computer in December 2019. I have deactivated that prior installation of your DataCAD 21 license, so you should be able to activate it now.Statistics: Posted by Clay Rogers — Fri Sep 18, 2020 2:44 pm

    I just deactivated and reactivated my license using the Datacad Help menu's License Actions without issue here. Maybe try logging into the license portal to see if you can manually deactivate all your licenses and then try to re-activate Datacad 21?Statistics: Posted by joshhuggins — Fri Sep 18, 2020 12:44 pm

  • DataCAD 21 • Re: autosave.... September 18, 2020
    I personally would like to see auto-save in it's current state replaced with a version that is similar to how the sessions work. A Recover Session folder that can be set as global folder or a folder next to the AEC files that auto quick saves an AEC file at a set interval with a […]

    One of my edits of the DcadWin.MNU file, is to add Control-Shift-A to Save All the open drawings at once.I do this so that I can then use another edit to that file, to have Control-F do a Refresh All XRefs. So, Control-Shift-A then Control-F to save all open files so the XRefs can then […]

    In Chapter 2: The Drawing Board of the DataCAD Manual (about page 91), you'll find a thorough explanation of how DataCAD handles auto-recover files under File Open, Backup, and Recover Process. Note: whenever you recover the most recent version of a file after exiting DataCAD abnormally, a copy of the current AEC file is copied […]

  • DataCAD 21 • autosave.... September 17, 2020
