Inventor Auto-Save or Backup To Open Unsaved Files

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 18:24:14 GMT

Ужасный алгоритм закрытия окна.
Многие ПО приучили, что работа сохраняется по закрытию. Тут же выдает какое то окошко и в конце рабочего дня уже несколько раз нажимал не читая - "Нет".
Пожалуйста! Усложните выход без сохранения, или хотя бы настройте в данном случае резервное сохранение куда нить.
Есть какой нить "автосэйв", чтобы открыть не сохраненную работу?

kelly.young has Translated With Google Translate:

A terrible window closing algorithm.
Many software have learned that the work is saved by closing. Immediately gives out some kind of a window and at the end of the working day already several times pressed without reading - "No".
You are welcome! Complicate the output without saving, or at least configure in this case a backup save where the thread is.
Is there any thread "auto-save" to open an unsaved job?

Best regards, I

Autodesk Inventor has never has an auto-save option. This is because it is a parametric application and an arbitrary save when you do not want it could cause a lot of problems. There is a setting to bring up a message after a certain time to remind you to save. After you save, there also is a folder created, in the same directory as the file, called "Old Versions" which you can configure to hold as many "previous" saves as you desire. This configuration is done in the Project File.

Autosave can be the best solution.
It is in many Autodesk programs, and it's not in Inventor.

I know about it. And can not understand, why I can not see my last save.
May be, when I pressed "don't Save' it was deleted. 😞

Hi! It is true that we have heard repeated request about Auto-Save in Inventor for many years. It has not been implemented. It is indeed due to technical difficulty. The main concern is when is the exact timing to save. Also, Inventor's Undo stream is session dependent, meaning the Undo applies to all open documents within the working session. If Auto-Save is triggered, all files will be saved and Undo will be reset. Would it be a desirable behavior? What if some files are in a state that cannot be saved?

It would be great if Inventor was able to support Auto-Save. So far, we have not found a good solution yet unfortunately.

Many thanks!

Besides what was mentioned by Johnson, you can also cast your vote to this idea in ideastation.

Hope it helps!

Hi!
You need to work about the exit mechanism.
I'm new to Inventor, but! It's not right when so questions are asked to be saved at the end of work.
Most software are automatically saved when you exit.
Perhaps it is worth to make a survey - what should be the question when you exit.
Or add an additional question with the "Warning" mark in case of refusal to save.
