Invnetor unsaved parts recover

[paul]

Inventor just crashed on me and i am wondering if i can get the drawing back that i was working on!!! I had a fully complete, when running the next command it crashed on me.... 

Any suggestions - besides saving earlier next time ;(

I have posted the sticky note - i am 1/3 of the way towards a new part - but we still have no solution, i am not sure what it takes or how to get there, but i still stay it would be nice....

The solution is to vote as @Curtis_Waguespack pointed out.  Have you done that?

Anyhow its not going change today, tonight or tomorrow or the next month (if its going to happen at all )

Yes, I did vote on them... Thanks,

I was an autocad user before I moved to Inventor and I loved the fact that autocad has a revision cloud available and the autosave capabilty which literally saved the drawing to a temp file that was accessible in case the program crashed.

I hope that inventor has the same capacity as that of autocad

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

For Inventor there is no autosave - just a reminder to save..   There's reasons why it can't be done at this time

Revision cloud is available in Inventor through the SDK https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-create-revision-cloud-in-Inventor.html   But some have had issues where it crashes Inventor.  I haven't kept up on this so not sure if its been resolved or not.

You could always create a macro to save your work outside of the program. You will have to remember to run the macro.

Sounds cool, but If one has to remember to run the macro, then one can as well remember to press the save button within the CAD environment, so we back to square one.....thinking out loud.🤔

I guess we just have to wait till an AUTOSAVE solution is implemented, someday.!!

It won't solve the problem.

There are autosave addin.

It'll kick in during sketch edit, middle of a command.

Also, you may not be able to undo after save.

It won't work on new files that need user to enter filename.

If the save reminder doesn't work for you, a forced autosave will not either.

Just make it a habit saving:

After edit and exit a sketch.

Before switch to another file.

Before leaving your desk.

If losing work daily won't change a user's behavior, nothing will.

Banging your head on the wall won't make the wall disappear.

Just walk around it.

Yea, makes sense.

Dam, I can't believe my company picked this software for us to use. Anyone considering the move to 3D software, pick something else besides this jank trash of a software. AT LEAST every couple days I run into a feature that autocad had, other 3d softwares have, has been requested in the inventor forums for YEARS, and nothing happens...

HAHAHA, even the autodesk forum autosaves my draft when I leave and come back to this post for a quick second. How ironic!
