save without new revision

Anonymous

While it is often great that old revisions are saved, there are many times that I want to save a drawing without creating a new revision.  Right now I am working on a large model and creating drawings of different views of it.  I have a dozen different drawing views open and save them just so they can be named something different than "untitled" then I look back at them and realize that a note I have been adding was missed on one, I add a dimension on another, etc., etc., and now I have a set of drawings all with different revision numbers and I really don't want to save the old revisions.  So is there a way to do a save without it making a new revision?

You could set the 'Automatic Recovery Save time interval (min) to 1 minute, then not worry about incremental manual saves.

Haven't tested this, but through my travels I'm fairly sure that it does not create new versions when working in offline mode.

 

You could switch to offline, save then switch back... maybe.

Oh, I saw the answer on a video the other day. Ctrl+Shift+S, saves a local copy, no versioning.

This is by far the stupidest "feature" of Fusion 360. Shift+Ctrl+S may save something, but in many cases that something is of zero use. Every time I make a change to my design I have to actually create a new version just so the change propagates to the 2D drawing. I have a very simple design that's already at v44 and it's all just a bunch of pointless versions that just create clutter. Out of 44 versions, a mere 2 bloody versions are actually intentional and purposeful. Often I end up just duplicating the whole design because it's easier to work that way, as I can have both the old and the new design open side-by-side, and I don't need to wade through a dispassionate list of versions named "User Saved". Meh. The way you have implemented version control is utter garbage.

 

In addition, Shift+Ctrl+S doesn't provide any visual feedback that the save has been successful = Ufail.

 

Autodesk please do this right and add proper local save plus an additional "commit" action to save a version.

Agreed.

When I have raised this issue before I was told that I 'don't understand how this feature works'..

I have 100's of old versions that I have no use for.

It also impacts on models that have been derived, and on drawings, and inserted components..

I don't know about you guys, but the reason I hit save is because I have made improvements to my model. Not because I am creating an 'alternative'

 

I really think this feature should be optional.
