Idiot Mistake - Help (exited without saving)

G Ahern — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 18:50:15 GMT

Oops.
Worked for several hours (with auto-save on)
When it came time to exit, I accidently hit "exit without saving".....
OUCH!
Is there a way to retreve work.. or did I just learn a valuable lesson?

I did check the backup file and it did not have any of the work...

(yes.. that loud scream you just heard was me...sorry)

thanks in advance

I fear you learned a lesson the hard way. Wise to press ctrl-s / cmd-S reasonably often to make sure your BPN file is not as far out of date was yours apparently was.

This article:
http://www.archicadwiki.com/AutoSave
gives the default autosave location for Mac... but I just checked there, and I have no autosave files, so apparently the files are erased after a normal exit? Maybe it is different on Windows.

This thread may be helpful, but equally unsatisfying:

I know the feeling, but as Karl said there is nothing u can do about it.

just have to bite the bullet and start again
