Autosave a file

To save your scene automatically in timed intervals

  1. Select Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences.

    The Preferences window appears.

  2. In the Categories, under the Settings section, select Files/Projects.
  3. In the Autosave section, turn on Enable.
  4. Set any additional options and click the Save button. See the Autosave section of the Files/Projects preferences topic for a description of these options.
  5. Important: If you open an AutoSaved file and then continue to work on it, it will not be autosaved. To continue working on an autosaved file and have it subject to autosaving, rename and save the file in a location other than where the autosaved files are found.
Note:

The autosave file has the same name as the source file, followed by an incrementing number.
