Recovering RMxprt Project Data in an Auto-Save File

Following a sudden workstation crash or other unexpected problem, you can recover the project data in its auto-save file.

Warning: When you recover a project's auto-save file you cannot recover any solutions data; recovering an auto-save file means you will lose any solutions data that existed in the original project file.

To recover project data in an auto-save file, if Ansys Electronics Desktop containing an RMxprt design has unexpectedly crashed:

  1. Launch Ansys Electronics Desktop from your desktop.
  2. Click File > Open.
  3. Select the original Projectn.aedt project file for which you want to recover its Projectn.aedt.auto auto-save file.

    4. The Crash Recovery window appears, giving you the option to open the original project file or the auto-save file.

  4. Select Open project using autosave file to recover project data in the auto-save file, and then click OK. Ansys Electronics Desktop replaces the original project file with the data in the auto-save file.

    5. Ansys Electronics Desktop immediately overwrites the original project file data with the auto-save file data, removing the results directory (solutions data) from the original project file as it overwrites to the auto-save file.

Warning: If you choose to recover the auto-save file, you cannot recover the original project file that has been overwritten; recovering data in an auto-save file is not reversible.
