Missing Autosave

[herrma29]

I was working on a large file earlier this morning and, while in the flow of things, neglected to save the file.

SketchUp crashed and I went to my folder to grab the autosaved file but found no file saved there. I have autosaves from 2 years ago in the folder, but nothing from today.

Any guess where it might be?

Are you still using SU2018? Or have you upgraded to a newer version? If you are using SU2019 or 2020, this information might be useful regarding Auto Saves and saving of recovered files.

SketchUp Pro 2019 = Let's talk about Saving

With SketchUp Pro 2019, we have made some changes to how we execute Auto-saves. Let’s go over Saves, Backups, and Auto-saves with SketchUp to make sure there’s a good understanding. Save - When you save a SketchUp model, you are saving a .skp file. This file contains everything used to make your model, from geometry to components and materials. It’s all in there. If you have a bunch of really large images or textures in your model, they will be there too AND they will impact the size of your .s…

Ah…I’ve updated my profile. Using 2020 Pro.

Good deal.

Did you see my edit, above?

Yep! Thank you! Recovered to exactly where I needed it
