AutoRecover function helps in recovering a project with the least loss possible due to unexpected system failure. If you start again ARCHLine.XP after the system has terminated unexpectedly, the project with your latest changes will be automatically loaded. You can save an auto-recovered project either by replacing the original file or by creating a new file.
It is important that Autorecover does not replace the actual saving of the project! The content of the Autorecover folder is automatically deleted when the program is closed normally.
Location: File / Options / Open and Save
Also, you can open the Options window with the gear icon in the bottom left corner.
- In the „Open and Save” tab find Save Autorecover information, here you can modify the default properties.
- Auto-recovery frequency is controlled by a specified number of steps (operations). You can activate the Autorecover function and set the frequency.
Note: If you choose „Exit without save” and you rely only on the Save Autorecover function, you will lose all modifications on the project you have done since the last save.
In case of large-size projects it’s worth increasing the frequency (number of steps). It can be bothering saving a large content after every five steps which may take several seconds.
How to clear your Automatic Recovery folder
Note: The contents of Automatic Recovery are located in this folder on your computer:
e.g.: C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\cadline\ARCHlineXP2023\AutoSave\xxxx
where:
[Your User Name]: replace [Your User Name] with your actual user name) e.g. C:\Users\erika\AppData
Year: ARCHlineXP2023, ARCHlineXP2024, contains the number of the currently used year.
Folders: several folder names may be visible if the program is running in several copies, because each copy saves the current status of the project used in the given copy in its own folder.
It is very rare case when the program cannot restore the current state of the project because, for example, the free space on the hard disk has run out, or a system problem occurs during the saving (e.g. power failure) and the program cannot restart.
In this case, navigate to this directory in the Explorer, delete its contents, and then restart the program.
