Getting an error saving an Autocad file, tmp files created?
I use Autocad to work on files I have stored and shared here in Dropbox. My Autocad is set to save every ten minutes. I also manually save very often because I've learned a valuable lesson once when ...

Hello all,
I and several folks in my office have found a "solution". I would advise all those who use AutoCAD to check your "save as" Settings under "Options". I and several others in my office had their set to 2007 (or 2010 in some cases) and were having this issue. Its funny because it was only when we upgraded to 2015 or 2016 did we have this issue because my save as setting was always 2007. So there is a bug in the new autocad software. We have all switched our save as to 2013 and noone has yet to have the issue to appear again. So saving it to a newer version seems to be the key.
It seems as though this is an AutoCAD issue. A dumb one too. I also think it's quite poor of Dropbox as a business to not even acknowledge us on this forum and at least try to offer better suggestions for a remedy. It would be nice to see if others try this and it works - please post back if so.
