Tools Auto Save

 

The Auto Save will allow you to automatically save the drawing after a specified amount of time.  The amount of time between each save is set in the Options command on the General tab under the Drawing Options header, or in the Drawing Backup Manager.  A drawing must be initially saved using the Save command before the auto save process will begin.

To adjust the auto save settings:

  1. Select the amount of time between automatic saves from the Auto save drawing every drop down menu.  During the first 12 hours of drawing time, the system will automatically create backup drawings based on the selected interval.  For example, if �1 hour� is selected, there will be 12 backup drawings saved.  If �30 minutes� is selected, 24 backup drawings will be saved.  After 12 hours have passed, the system will retain the most current backup drawing per hour.

  2. Select the amount of time to retain backup drawings related to the date of the most current drawing from the Keep drawing backups for drop down menu.

Note:

  • If the mouse cursor does not move or no action is taken on the design screen, the drawing timer will automatically stop.  Once the timer has stopped, the auto save will become inactive.  When action is taken on the drawing and the timer begins, the auto save will resume.

  • All backup drawings are automatically saved in the �\Drawing Backup sub folder where Pro Contractor Studio is installed on the computer.
