![]() Yes BricsCAD APPEARS to have the built-in auto-save that has a default setting of 60 minutes but it would appear my original 7 hour stint without a qsave has that function Beta-tested for a fail. Hi All, sorry for the delayed response to your posts. Sorry if my post was offensive, and I should have included my last paragraph here, in that reply. I don't think doing this is a good idea anyway, because there are many occasions you might open a drawing with no intention of saving it and you would not want changed automatically written to disk. It does not regularly save the current open drawing file. (Running your own save command resets the timer). It creates a copy of your current drawing in the location defined by SAFEFILEPATH. ![]() Having said all of that, BricsCAD does have an Autosave facility, but it is meant to bail you out in case of a power outage, or catastrophic crash, when you (the user) don't get an opportunity to save that one last time. (e.g.: Did your harddrive crash and it's unrecoverable? Where are your backups? I don't have any.) <- I've seen this on many occasions. For me, this means running QSAVE perhaps as often as after every command for complex operations, but generally every minute or so. Is your data something you don't want to lose? Then make sure ( at whatever cost you are comfortable with) that you have your data. Never rely on an application to save it for you, or the situation you are in - happens. If you do something you want to save, whether it's CAD or a photo editor, or a word processor, or authoring an email - then you save it. The nature of the computer application does not matter. ![]() Kindest regards, - this has nothing to do with CAD and/or your self-declared novice status. If like myself, you had done a small amount of research on the forum member you were about to post a comment to then you 'MAY' have been able to deduce from my new and ONLY posts in "Beginner Tutorial" that I'm relatively new to CAD, hence offered a constructive piece of advice with quantified justification as opposed to the one you have posted. ![]() ![]() By my reckoning this 'should' qualify you to be an ADVANCED BricsCAD user although 19 months shouldn't be long enough for you to forget the novice position from whence you started your journey. The answer is simple rkmcswain, You have been a Forum member since April 2017 and posted 66 comments over that time. ![]()
