Undo is not working

Hi,

I have done a lot of work today on FlexSim. In the middle of my project, I forget to save my project. Then, I accidentally deleted most of my work. Undo is not working. I am wondering if there is a way for me to let it return to a couple steps before. Thanks

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.1.0

save delete autosave undo

Every ten minutes, by default, FlexSim creates an autosave version of your model in the same directory as your model. It will be your same model name but with _autosave on the end. Try to see if you have the most recent one in your documents.

I just found it. However, the rest has been autosaved. Is there a chance to find my work before the autosave???

FlexSim keeps a running backup of the version previous to the most recent save which ends in .fsm! We recommend that you copy that file and rename it, making sure to remove the exclamation point. Hope that works for you.

In the future, I strongly encourage you to frequently save your model, and to increment the model name so that you can access a previous version if you make a mistake. The easiest way to do this is to hit "Ctrl + Shift + s".
