Tonight, I had something happen that I can't begin to figure out how it could happen as it did.
I have a drawing that I have been working on daily for forty five days or so and the file is nearly a complete set of residential drawings. Tonight when I exited DataCAD, I got the Windows "Not Responding" message with the faded screen.
Finally, when DataCAD had closed, I went back to just check and found what is the strangest thing that I've seen in a long time.
All of the DataCAD files in the folder were all from last month. The Drawing file was dated 10-31-19. The back-up file was dated 10-30-19. The three sessions folders and files were dated 10-29-19 and so on. The really odd thing is that I go in and out of that drawing several times each day and save every time. Why the day separation on the drawing/back-up is really odd, plus the folder dates being kicked back also is inexplicable.
What hurts is that I do the one file drawing for a complete set of drawings. Fortunately, I had just done a plot of a check set an hour or so before the big event.
Does anyone have an idea as to what happened to cause that failure? I have no reason to think that it's DataCAD related.
