After a long string of work, I stopped to save my progress, but an odd dialogue came up showing something about "file to be saved." I've seen this pop up before, a few times since the last update, but this time, the "save" button was grayed out. I could do nothing to save.
Then my entire computer went bonkers and I couldn't do anything (finder seemed to have crashed, I couldn't cmd+space to bring up activity monitor). I had to do a hard shut down. Not surprisingly, after restart Fusion did not have any recovery files for me (which it usually doesn't if I have to shut it down when it's sort of working but something is very wrong), but when I dug through the application files, I found a backup.bak file. I renamed the extension to .f3d, but when I tried to open it, I got this error:
The path /Users/jeff/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/GJ6JMQVSZZSS/CrashRecovery/243bc3d2dfd647df88e1bfaa2c0296ab.f3d is not a valid zip package.
It's maybe an hour of work I've lost, not sure. That sucks, but worries me much more is how do I keep from having both of these odd Fusion quirks happen again (1: refusing to save, 2: backup file with a weird error). Could this all be caused with something going wrong with my computer's ram? It's an ancient iMac I use at work (unfortunately. Our budget is abysmal), so it could be related to that.
