Saving files

[E.felps]

Just installed 2011 Revit Architecture and when trying to save during a work session, multiple copies are being created instead of overwriting the main file? Where are setting options to adjust this?

Everytime you save it will make a back-up file typically with numbers in the name XXX.0001.rvt.

It is saving back to the origional as well as saving a back-up.

I believe the default is like 4 back-ups.... so you will have xxx.0001.rvt, xxx.0002.rvt, xxx.0003.rvt, xxx.0004.rvt... once you get to the 5th back-up it will drop off xxx.0001.rvt and you will see the xxx.0005.rvt

OK, but it was up to 15.rvt and counting. ACAD is a hard methodology to re-think when you need to maintain production drafting.

Thanks

It will keep counting - I have been up in the 100's before. If you want you can delete the back-up's. I would always leave 1 just in case - you know how it is...

BTW - if you are happy with the response don't forget to accept as solution.
