I never wanted to use the timer in parts/assemblies, just drawing files. I have a bad habit of doing a lot in drawing files without saving, sometimes several hours in big drawings, and I've lost large amounts of time to a crash because of this. I have been getting better about saving often in drawings and crashes aren't very frequent, especially as I learn how to use Inventor better.
I know having an autosave feature would have saved my colleagues and myself a whole lot of re-do time, so I thought it would be a decent/useful project to get into Inventor's API. I'm not going to use my macro because of the issues I've already seen, but I did learn a lot about API grammar so it wasn't a total waste of time.
