Besides the architecture issues that I mentioned earlier, creating an auto-save routing for Inventor is a bit tricky because of the save limitations in Inventor and that you don't want it to cause problems for the user.  One issue is that you can't save while a sketch is active.  I think there may also be some other cases where a save is blocked.  Another issue is with assemblies.  Do you only save whatever is currently active or do you look through all of the referenced parts and save any that have been modified?  And another issue is what is the timing of the save?  You don't just want it to be based on a time clock because when you start the save it will terminate whatever is currently going on.  So if the user is close to the end of executing a complicated command and they lose all of that because the auto-save terminates it, I don't think they'll be happy.  As you can see, it's not a simple problem.
