Save Default Settings and Autobackup
It is regarded as good practice to save your drawing or
project after you have made any major changes or
periodically while working. To set the Autobackup time,
select the following options.
Please note that this only creates a backup of the
actual drawing and not of the database elements i.e. DTM
and Design.
Select File > Save Options > Save
Settings if you are in the Design Centre Mode.
If you were in any other mode you can still access this
by selecting;
File >Drawing > Save Options > Save Settings
|
This Save Settings dialogue allows the user to
set the frequency of timed backups. These backup files
are saved to the source folder/directory or a user
specified folder/directory and are named
Abackup1.<Opened Drawing Name>.DRG and
Abackup2.<Opened Drawing Name>.DRG.
Failing to specify a folder/directory for your timed
backups to be written into will result in the timed
backup being written to the source folder. In the
event of you working across to a server will result in
the backup being written to the folder where you have
accessed the drawing.
Note: Leaving the Backup
Path blank will result in the Backups being written to
where you have accessed the drawing.
If timed backup is set to 10 minutes the drawing is
saved to this directory after 10 minutes and the saved
drawing is named Abackup1.<Opened Drawing Name>.DRG.
When the user has been working for 20 minutes the
drawing is again saved to the specified directory and
the previously saved drawing is renamed as
Abackup2.<Opened Drawing Name>.DRG. The newly
saved 20 minute backup copy is then saved as
Abackup1.<Opened Drawing Name>.DRG.
After 30 minutes the first (10 minute) backup
drawing is deleted, the 20 minute backup drawing
is renamed from Abackup1.DRG to Abackup2.DRG and the
30 minute drawing is saved as Abackup1.<Opened
Drawing Name>.DRG.
Click on the OK button.
Once all these settings have been completed they must
be saved in the STARTUP.DRG file. This
is the default drawing file that is presently loaded
or that is loaded at startup or when starting a new
project or drawing.
