Autosave Not Working in Autocad LT 2020 for Mac

[WDS_Seatle]

I have Autosave set for every 5 minutes. However when I inadvertently closed a drawing without saving, there was no saved version of the drawing available in "Documents/Autodesk/Autosave" - there were only older saved versions. The .bak file is also showing an older date version. I had been working on the file for about 4 hours. Is there a way to make sure that autosave is active?

LT2020 is not new: did you get a new computer? Update your OS?
Start working remotely? Something else change?

What is your exact MacOS version please?

Hi @WDS_Seatle ,

Looking at your screenshot I see that Autosave is NOT enabled in AutoCAD Preferences:

You need to check mark this option in order to enable it.

You can also check SAVETIME System Variable - it should be greater than 0 when Autosave is enabled.

Talk about oversight 😉 Thank you.
