I did read about some of the files, and I realize now that my code is a little too simplistic (I'll have to program it to wait until commands end before it undertakes the procedure, maybe see if there's a way to check if the program is busy at the moment, though technically fluent scheduler is actually supposed to queue its commands so that might work.) 

 

That being said, I worked with solidworks in college and only began with inventor after I reached my workplace, so I know that autosave can be done with similar programs. Thankfully our crashing problems have died down from the days a year or so ago when you would have 2-3 inventor crashes a day, to maybe only once or twice a week. Other than the problem of it interrupting an important command, however, is there really any reason that it shouldn't have an autosave?

 

Edit: Perhaps creating a backup file name called filename_backup and overwriting it every 5 minutes would be a better course of action if the objection is not wanting your file saved at certain points
