Recovering a model

If your PowerShape session crashes, it may be possible to recover the model you were working on. When you restart PowerShape after a crash, the following dialog is displayed:

  1. Select the models that you wish to recover. You can use Select All and Invert to select multiple models.
  2. Click one of the following:
    • OK to recover all selected models in the list.
    • Cancel to cancel the recovery process. All recoverable changes will be lost.
  3. Following a model recovery, the recovered model must be saved to allow recovery from a second crash.
    Note: If your model contains no post-version 8 solid data (Parasolid), it is recovered to the command before the crash. If your model contains any post-version 8 solid data (Parasolid), it is recovered to the state at which the last autosave occurred.

    The time between autosaves is specified by the Time between autosaves option on the File > Options > Application Options > File > Model dialog.
