Let us try and attempt if we can understand the “information” as in BIM really. What is the optimum level of information we should put in the model which can used for construction process!! With all manufacturer building their library in Revit, I foresee much more information being assembled into a model. Till date we have not reached such a level where our models can be used for FM. To me a building model is completely successful if the same model contains so much of information that the same can be used for facility management after the actual construction is over. Out here I would like this group to provide their feedback as to how they have been successful in implementing and inserting maximum amount of useful information in the building model. Using it properly is like having good car insurance.There has been a lot of discussion about the fact that Information is still not used to give complete advantage BIM offers to its user. Hope this helps, it saved me 2 hours of work. To easily change the time of the autosave feature, use the SAVETIME system variable (this last tip thanks to lazydrafter) If your auto-save feature is disabled, you can enable it in AutoCAD by going to Tools -> Options -> "Open and Save" Tab -> and there make sure that the "Automatic save" on the lower left corner is active and preferably set to every 10 minutes or less. To do that, on any folder go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> and make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is UNCHECKED) dwg (to be able to change the file extension you need to be able to see it. Change the file extension of the file you think it might be the good one from. Check the "date modified" of those files, if the date and time makes sense according to when you had the last file crshes, there is a good chance that those files contain the information you need, so there is no need to redraw everything.Ħ. SV$ extension) (if you can’t see the folder, you need to go to Tools -> folder Options -> View -> and Make sure "show hidden files and folders" is SELECTED). (The autosave files should have a either a. Then access that folder and try to find a file with the same file name but different extension. (mine where stored at C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp)Ĥ. Inside the files tab go to: “Automatic Save File Location” and see where the autosave files are stored. Inside Options go to the “Files” Tab (far left)ģ. I thought I'd share here that information in case someone doesn't know about the auto-save feature and how o locate those files.Ģ.
MAGICAD 2009.5 HOW TO
This made me write an e-mail to everyone explaining how to find and use the backup files that are created with the auto save option in AutoCAD.Īlthough for "light" crashes, these files can be accessed through the recovery wizard, this was not our case, so it was a question of searching and finding those auto-save files to replace the corrupted ones. Some of the files ended up being completely unrecoverable so we had to find the most updated backup files we could find. We had an awful day at work today with lots of FATAL ERROR crashes, probably due to some circular references on the XREFs. Make sure you activate the autosave option and see where to recover the files from.
