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 Recover models 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.
