When is a save not a save?

[DGSketcher]

I just shouted very loudly at the screen using a four letter expletive, sorry if you heard it.

Apparently despite hitting save several times, if you then modify a drawing and don't like what you see, don't rely on opening the LAST save from the recent files menu. AC20 assumes you want to go back to when you FIRST opened the file and scraps all subsequent changes including the last save.

Two hours of tedious amendments lost...

Right, but in windows you just launch a brand new session of archicad so to speak, where as you need to access the open dialogue from your active session on Mac? I don't often work on our Macs in the office, but I would like the option to just start a new archicad without going through the menu of opening, new etc

In the Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > More Options > check Launch new instance of ArchiCAD when.... This will launch a new instance when opening a file from the Finder (double-click or Command+O).

Wow, thanks for that David! I did not know, obviously.

Just in case it comes across that way, I was not being sarcastic.

Erwin:

No worries, I did not take your comment that way.

Cheers,
