Error opening previous project version.

hatchettpete — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 18:26:19 GMT

Every time I open a previous version of a project from the version drop down menu I get a message stating "a recovery document exists for xxx because Fusion 360 closed unexpectedly the last time it was open" screen shot below.However Fusion 360 has never closed while in use so I am baffled. Any clues?

Good day @hatchettpete,

That is strange indeed. especially if it is happening to all your historic versions.

Do you close fusion before shutting down your PC? This has caused similar issues on my side.

Thanks for your reply. I always save and close Fusion360 before shutting
down my PC. At times I leave fusion 360 running while away from my desk.
As a thought does the Fusion360 cloud server monitor in-activity and
possibly disconnect the link?

Hi @hatchettpete,

The F360 server shouldn't be an issue.

On the other hand, if you are using a laptop that goes into hibernation the connection might be cut completely and then F360 can create a recovery file.

I found this while using a docking station to connect with a LAN port, Laptop goes to sleep and the docking station turns off breaking the connection completely.
