Recovery file to central model

[cbt990]

I hit escape while printing a sheet and it crashed revit, but allowed me to save a local recovery file first. I lost about thirty minutes of work.

It looks like everything was saved.

Am I going to spend more time trying to make the recovery file the new central file or just rebuilding my changes in the central model?

Thanks for your help.

Yes you can.

What's the question? I don't see a problem if "everything was saved" in the recovery file. I'm surprised that you lost any work, much less 30 minutes of it, but I believe you.

I ultimately didn't end up losing any work and was able to instate the new central file. But it did take about 2 hours of confusing attempts to get the recovery file correctly named and in the right place on BIM360. I noticed multiple weird things happening with the various versions as I was trying to archive the old and instate the new, including the filename showing a different file than was clicked, the recovery file reverting to the central model state, the name of the old central model getting appended with my username, revit's BIM360 browser not showing everything that web browser shows..

The lesson learned is aborting print is not ideal
