nestly Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm sure we all agree that AutoSAVE should not be used as a substitute for regular manual saves. It's merely another level of protection, not unlike a seatbelt.... a bit of an annoyance, except when you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Unprofessional until disaster strikes and your boss wants to know why you had no plan in place for such emergencies. "But boss, that would be "unprofessional"! That statement would probably be enough to have you shown to the door. LoL I use MS Access quite a bit. As soon as you enter a new record then move to the next entry the file is saved automatically. Not too crazy about that feature with MS Access either. I am all grown up and know when to save my work. If power went off right this second, I would have current drawings. I Use CTRL+S. If you rely on AutoSave and .bak, YOU would be the one with lost work, not ME. I would show you the door for not saving properly, what disaster, YOU didn't save your file, that isn't a disaster that is being irresponsible, unprofessional and incompetent. I will restate, I said leave them on if you prefer, but QSAVE (CTRL+S) is the ONLY WAY to insure a current copy of the file. Upon closing a drawing or AutoCAD you are prompted to save the file/files as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel better, by all means use it. As I stated, the timer is reset everytime you Ctrl+S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You're preaching to the choir here. Never had to rely upon an AutoSave to save my bacon and fortunately when I've had the occasional crash AutoCAD has had a recover file ready and waiting for me upon opening.

SLW210 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Not preaching to you or anyone else in particular, just seems there are those that misunderstand the function of autosave and .bak and how they operate. Many DO believe, they need not use Qsave (Ctrl+S). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yep...you were preaching. I'd say it was classic "fire and brimstone" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
