Modules not saving .bpn version

I've had this issue in Archi20 and now in Archi27 and am hoping it is a user setting I haven't yet found.

 

When I save a .pln file a .bpn file is created automatically... no problem there. However, I use .mod files a lot, and sometimes they create a .bpn and sometimes they don't, and I don't know why.

 

I have selected 'make backup copy' option in Work Environment. Unchecked it, restarted, checked in again and same problem.

 

For obvious reasons, the backup copy is important. However, I've also found that if I don't have a .bpn file for that .mod then none of my Views in the .mod will save for me to work on next time I open that file. Very frustrating, hoping someone can help!

 

Thanks,

Belinda

Open .mod and create a View.

Re-open .mod. View is gone.

 

Not sure what you are doing Belinda, though this is in AC22. Have yet to utilised mod files in any newer AC versions.
