HI, Running AutoCAD 3.0 Windows. Can I confirm that autosaved files are now deleted at the end of each session per another correspondence?

Thanks, Tim

(Edit: Tim to avoid confusion to other users I presume you mean QCAD 3 and not AutoCAD? thanks, clive)

Definitive yes! What means no unnecessary Data trash will stay on your or on a Host (Customer?) system! :D

But in the case of a crash the Auto-saved File will stay. After restart QCad you will be ask to open the "normal" File or the Auto-saved File. What ever your decision is the NOT CHOSEN FILE will also stay on your system as something like this: filename.bak001.dxf (you will find it in the same directory as the original File).


@Andrew or Clive
Could you move this thread to the right place in the Forum :wink: Thanks!
