Saving your drawings automatically

To avoid losing data in the event of a power failure or other system error, save your drawing files often. You can configure the program to periodically save your drawings automatically. The Minutes setting determines the interval between automatic saves. The program restarts this interval timer whenever you save the drawing file.

When AutoSave is enabled, the program creates a copy of your drawing. The file is saved to the same directory as the drawing file, with the file extension specified in the AutoSave Drawing Extension field (by default, SV$).

To configure IntelliCAD to automatically save your drawings

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Click the General tab.
  3. Under AutoSave, select the check box to enable the AutoSave feature, and select the frequency.
  4. Click OK.
