The One is on a distinguished road

--> Open a drawing of file type dwg - works good - now press save - program crashes. The program does not check that the file has been (converted and) saved as a "save as" bbcd file before trying to save it. This must cause a memory error somewhere in the save routine.
I have tried this with every 3 of supported format and have not been able to generate the same error you indicate. What system are you using to create the dwg files? Also, do you have another program accessing the file at the time you are trying to save it? There are many different things that could be the catalyst to the problem.


Here's another quick one for you: press "Milling Tools", then select the "Tools" menu item. The "Milling Tool Menu" dialog opens up - now press the "Help" button - does your program do anything? This is the case for some of the other dialogs too.
This is known. There were several dialog ID's that were unknown at the time that the Help files were getting built. These are being fixed as time permits. There are actually 25,000+ individual help IDs in the system.

Here's a real nuisance (in my opinion). Right click in the drawing to activate the pop-up context menu. The "OK" and "CANCEL" buttons are not grayed out (disabled). Why? If there is no command active these should be disabled because it is very confusing. I have found that a command has completed or aborted, and I'm busy clicking away at the OK button and nothing happens - it should be disabled when it does not do anything - that's pretty well standard on Windows based programs.
I understand what you are saying here. The Cancel and OK options are used for most of the functions in the system and as such they were not intended to be used as indicators of active functions. Instead the Data Entry dialog and the prompt lines(bottom left hand corner) were intended to be used to determine a function is active. I can make a suggestion, but that is how it was intended to be used.
