Lost Hours of Work

ishchhabra — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 04:04:07 GMT

Was working on a project before a crash occurred and I lost an hour of work.

I have the 4 files in cache form saved as .f3d._xx with the new file name but no sign of a .f3d with that new filename, any help on how to recover as I have 4 files of .f3d._xx as they must be the cache of the work.

Had you named/saved your Fusion 360 file? Was it standalone?

@ishchhabra

Are you Saving every 10-15 minutes?

You can copy the .f3d_xx file to a folder of your choice, rename it with the proper .f3d extension and it should open up without issue.
