Aren't computers brilliant

[sagalout]

Been working all morning on 2 drawings in Autocad. Clicked from 1 to the other before lunchtime and the first one just vanished. No "do you want to save", nothing. Not in the temp file, no autosave, nothing there at all.

I hate it when that happens, I've lost work like that before and it just disappears into thin air.

Autosave normally cuts in afte 30 mins but that seems to have changed over the last few days(?). Now how do you reset that again.
Trouble is with so many computers on the server and things often being changed/moved etc stuff happens without you knowing it.....
One minute I'm drawing away and next I'm on PH again..

Go into
Tools,
Options,
Select the Open and Save tab,
Amend save duration time in the File Safety Precautions Box.
