Hi All,
I am experiencing an issue with the autosave utility I created for Autodesk Inventor. The problem arises when the save method is called while a mouse key is pressed; this results in Inventor crashing.
Mouse events can be finicky. However, just a heads up. Inventor has not implemented an auto-save function as standard for very strong reasons. While it is possible to create one, take care of corrupted files that may result from those saves. I've come across the topic on the forums many a time with autodesk employee's going over the reasons.
Here is a link to one of them:

Maybe you can check if Inventor is 'idle' before continuing the autosave?
First hit on Google for 'Inventor VBA iLogic check if inventor is idle' is this topic.
