Read off CD
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:31 amThere was recent discussion on the DBUG forum about not being able to read AECs off a CD. Contrary to popular opinion, it is possible to read an archived file.
You cannot save it back to the CD on closing. Datacad invites you to do a
Save as... instead. Similalrly, if you do a shift-F it asks where to.
While you are doing this, a job.$WP file is stored in D:\datacad\Temporary
Files.
I guess this is one of those things that you come across by accident, to the point where this is not the cause of a "I can't read my archived file" problem, but one of "I can't save the archived file that I have been working on....""
