Electricity gone! What will happen to drawing?

Daily Autocad: "When using AutoCAD, sometimes we are very concentrated on the drawing and forget to save. This is a very common mistake done by inexperienced users as well as advanced users. We forgot to save the file for a long time and the electricity went off… what will happen then!? Or maybe the electricity did not go, but your computer suddenly frozen. Does anyone have a computer which does not freeze all of a sudden? In such a case, what will happen to the project that we are currently working on? All of the work that you have done so far suddenly becomes very valuable."

Thank you for posting this!! I'm so happy, I'd been wondering how to turn the auto-save feature back on. No kidding.

My AutoCAD was not autosaving and I lost a large chunk of progress on some draftings I'd done recently. Now, no problem.

My mom's an architect, so she has a few horror stories about that as well, I'm sure.

That anonymous post was mine...sorry. Stupid computer.

Seriously though, this is a good resource for those of us who forget to save...
