Auto Save

Steve Palmer · Post by **Steve Palmer** » Tue, Dec 18 2007, 9:13PM

I did a search of this forum and I couldn't find any reference to a 'Auto Save' feature in the program. Is this correct? That there isn't any option to allow for a automactic save of your job/cabinet? Nothing more furstrating than when you are lost deep in thought about the kitchen your designing and have hours of work lost because you haven't been saving your work in a timely manner.

Hey Steve...

That is correct...be sure you save things along the way!

Never hurts to ask again...but I know it was on the wish list from before as well.

As long it's an auto save that you can turn off.

I would like this too, I would much rather seeing a pop-up asking to save

than the dreaded "program must shut down"

pop-up.

ctrl S all day long, I have learned to hit ctrl s after adding each cabinet because, I have lost several project after spending 5 to six hours of head scratching and frustration.
I would vote YES for that feature.

Crtl S only works after you are done or in the cabinet editor. It doesn't work in Detail Room, if we can get it to work in Detail Room that would be great. As of now ctrl S brings up the right click menu.

Lamar, you are correct, but if your in detail room, click the done button and click ctrl-s and go back. It only takes a couple of seconds to go back and forth. Although still alot faster than rebuilding the entire job.

After you have to recreate eight or ten hours work enough times, you'll remember.

I vote in favor of auto save too. Maybe a poll with two answers--yes and no?

It hasn't worked yet.

Or maybe I just don't know how many times is enough. Is that the same as I don't know when to quit?

The coolest free modeling software on the planet, Google Sketchup, has autosave.

Why not eCabinets? What is so hard to do, here?

Definately got my vote for Auto Save. When I'm training new staff I set up a reminder in Microsoft outlook to pop up every 10-15 minutes saying "If eCabinets is Open, click Save" It works well, the new staff members soon get sick of it popping up and remember to do it themselves.
