Issue : I cannot save a DSD file even though I have saved my drawing
Due to the way that Civil Site Design operates, when the PUBLISH command is run, the DBMOD system variable is set to modified (other than 0 [ZERO]) thus indicating to the publish command that the drawing has been modified.
The only workaround found for this is to DISABLE CIVIL SITE DESIGN TEMPORARILY.
Close your CAD application
Browse to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
Rename CSD.bundle to CSD.bundlex
Reopen and reload your drawing
Run the Publish command,
Save the DSD file
Close out of you CAD Application
Rename the CSD.bundlex back to CSD.bundle
Open you CAD application and reload your drawing.
The saved DSD file can be loaded however if you need to save the file again, the above process will need to be repeated.
BACKGROUND plotting must be disabled when plotting Civil Site Design project files.
