Save settings

Save Parameters

This option allows the user to decide if its work is automatically saved or not, every 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes.

When the option is activated, the behavior is the following:

• every X minutes, the software automatically saves the document in the temporary folder (set in General settings) in a sub folder called AutoSave. The name of the saved documents contains a time code with the date and the time. This allows to easily identify them.

• the autosave is launched only when there is no active command nor computation in progress (like a script for instance).

• when the software exits normally, all the autosaved documents are erased. But, when the software crashes, the autosaved documents remain in the temporary folder. This means that a user is able to reopen the document, like for every classic .3dr files (Read File restoration dialog below).

You can choose if the recycle bin is saved inside the document or not. If checked, the file size will be bigger.

Backup of .3dr documents

This menu lets you decide whether you want to make document backup files or not. If Enable recovery of files is selected, the software renames the previous document with the extension 3DRBAK before saving the new file. If you need to access the previous version, just rename the .3drbak file with the .3dr extension.
