Is there a folder for temp files? I am using Bricscad for Mac. When the program crashes man it crashes... just poof gone. Where are the autosaves saved to also?

    You can find them in the Settings.
    Path, Time, ...

    I pointed all my 3D/Cad Apps into a single Folder Structure,
    on the fast local SSD.

    I think it is SAVEFILEPATH
    By default in any cryptic hidden Temp Folder ...

    and SAVETIME
    By default set to 60 minutes !?

    Thank you. I changed the path to a normal location so hopefully next crash I will have something there to save my time. I have been adding some quicksaves in my lisp routines to hopefully help.

    Thanks for asking.
    So I realized that I haven't set my backups for V21 either.
    And as it defaults to 60 minutes, there wasn't any backup so far.
    I set to 8 minutes.

    I know this is an old discussion but I want to add to it
    If I type in the comandline "SAVEFILEFOLDER" the temp folder is automaticly opened in windows explorer
    I am on BricsCAD Lite 2022

    Config files "Save file path" you will be surprised how much ends up in there. I have a bat file to clean it out.
