F360 Crash, no recovery file found.

Hi, F360 crashed (report CER_218813622), but there is no recovery file even though my preferences have it auto-saving every 5 minutes.

\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\CrashRecovery is empty.

In \AppData\Local\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\CY3TNVRU89DX\W.login\F, there is a ._xx file, but no F3d.

Where are the auto-save files? I lost half a day of work!

Hey mah6786,

If you go to File > Recovery Documents, you'll have access to all the designs Fusion was able to save for recovery.

That was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately it was empty. It seems like something triggered the deletion of all the backup. Some CAD program I use will keep a ring buffer style list of backups and just overwrite the old ones and it works pretty well. looks like F360 has some room for improvement.
