Dual Format Saving of a Drawing (2004 and 2007)

It is possible to automatically save a 2004 version of a drawing every time you hit SAVE in 2007, but you need an add-on to do it. DUALSAVE.ARX is the add-on.

1. Download the DUALSAVE.ARX from our website at this address and save it to your H40\PROG\CAD2007 folder
2. In AutoCAD, pick Tools, Load Application...
3. Navigate to H40\PROG\CAD2007and select and drag DUALSAVE.ARX down to the little briefcase you see that says Startup Suite - this will cause the program to be loaded each time you start AutoCAD

Please note that this will cause Saves to take a little longer because the save is being done twice, once in each format.

Also, this will not work in 2008. No word on an update yet, either.
