I always get this files in with my production files. and I have specified under the Save Options to save them in the Temp folder, I tried to create a folder and tell it to save them there... and I still get then where ever my original file was. can some one tell me the trick to getting this to stop?
Very strange that you don't get any autobackup files. And you say you have tried specifying a different location? Try using the default location (Temporary folder). Apart from that, Autobackup should not be used as a substitute for ordinary saves. If you have lost one hour's work because you haven't saved, you need to reconsider your workflow.
Edit: FYI, I tried both the default location as well as to direct it to a network folder, and both gave me the expected "AUTOBACKUP_OF_..." file.Check the setting in Options > Workspace > Save and specify a location. Set the time to a low value, say 1 minute.Close and reopen Draw to make sure the settings take, open the specified folder and make a change in an open file.Leave it for the specified time span and check the folder to see if the "AUTOBACKUP_OF_" file appears.
