File Menu

Since Murphy’s law states that files should always be deleted just before you really need them, maybe you should put some thought into securing your projects.

The application can crash and you can lose the scene you were just working on. Or an error can occur on the hard drive when saving the scene and all your work will be irrevokably lost.

If this happens, it’s always nice to be able to have a backup so you don’t have to create the scene again from scratch. We’ve provided a solution for just these instances.

You can secure you work in one of two ways. You can activate the Generate Backup Copies option in the Preferences / Document menu. You can define how many backup copies you want created.

The second possibility is to use the Save Incremental function. Each time Save Incremental is implemented, your scene will be saved as a new file, numbered sequentially in ascending order. Previously saved files will not be overwritten.
