Where is my Autosave file? (TW2)

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:23:46 GMT

Hello,

I may be missing something but I do not have the AutoSave file @Global.T saving in my designated folder location. I am working on my local copy of a TeamWork file based on our BIM Server. I was under the impression that our local copies are saved into our designated AutoSave folder the same as solo .pln files. Even while it looks like there is none, ArchiCAD still finds some kind of AutoSave file after it the local copy crashes. Is that based out of the TW Data location? Are local TW copy AutoSaves in a different file name or format? I could not find any confirmation of that either. Attached image is my current Data Safety settings from the WE.

On Mac it is in a different place, so I presume it is on PC too.

Mac location:
user/Library/Application Support/Graphisoft/TW Data/YourProjectName/Autosave

Thanks Geoff, found it at:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Graphisoft\TW Data\[project _####]\Autosave

Right under my nose the entire time (Happy Monday to me). I guess I really got in the habit of our default location I did not think of or look around enough within the TW Data folder. Also, I may have been thrown off by that AutoSave folder being at our defined location but without the @Global.T file. Thanks for clarifying/confirming!

What is this autosave filetype extension? .pln? .bkp? .bmp? I'm not seeing any filetypes that I'm used to clicking on in any of my autosave folders.

I made a drafting error last night then did a lot of work today and now I want to go back to that file that I was working on last night so I can recover some of the things i deleted. However, I can't find that file to click on from last night anywhere.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about here. I have not found anything on the forum thus far that explains this type of recovery or recovery file type.
