RICHARD W Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The most weird thing is happening recently and randomly. I save and finish work on a drawing file, close the file, then open it later to find a previously saved file before I made changes. Like the changes I made in the drawing did not "take". I have all solid state drives on my desk top. Is this a SS drive issue or AutoCAD 2012 issue? I am afraid to do any more work as it may or may not be saved.

ReMark Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Where do you save your DWG files and how exactly do you open them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD W Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I save them to my hard drive. I just hit the save button at the top of the bar. Then I close the drawing. I do at end of day drag and drop a copy of the updated file to another hard drive for back up, but I do not want to get ahead of myself. Once a few weeks ago, I could not save any changes on a job. I would save the file after making changes and I had to make the changes like 5 times before it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD W Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I open them by opening my documents folder and opening the project file, then double click on the drawing I want to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as though your files are being saved someplace other than where you expect them to be saved. Try doing a "SaveAs" and check the file path. Autocad may be defaulting to a different folder.

RICHARD W Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I will try, it is very random though, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
