Archicad not saving

Brett Brown

Hi All, for some unknown reason Archicad did not autosave or manually save when I shut down yesterday. Opened the file today and nothing I did yesterday was there. Had a look at the time machine backups all yesterday and the file I was working on never changed. Have had no crashes for months.

Had a similar thing happen on a small revision on a different file I did last week. When I opened yesterday the revision wasn't there. Redid it and another revision yesterday and saved as normal. Both have saved when checked today.

So what can I do when I can't trust a manual save?

Is there a way to get at autosaves from yesterday in time machine?

No experts in support today so any help appreciated.

cheers

Update, I noticed an odd file in the dropbox folder starting with the letters scr and 10 numbers after it, and no file type. Had the same ArchiCAD icon so opened it from there and it was my latest file I thought I had saved. Great no lost work.

Perhaps I shut down to quick after saving and the computer didn't have time to change the previous save to .bpn and save the new version. Lesson learned.
