Auto-recovering backup files

All recovery files generated by the Auto-save function can be recovered and loaded into LEGION Model Builder. This includes ‘Unnamed’ as well as previously saved and named files but the process is slightly different for each type of file.

To auto-recover an Unnamed recovery file:

Select File > Recover Model files.
The ‘Auto-recovery’ dialog box is displayed, listing all the files that can be recovered.
If you want to see a preview of a LEGION Model File, double-click on its image. Click OK to close the preview.
To open a LEGION Model File in LEGION Model Builder, select its name and click OK.
The file is opened with the generic title Recovered unnamed Auto-save file.
Select File > Save and save the file with a specific name.
With files that you have already saved and named, the recovery process starts as soon as you try and open the file. The LEGION Model Builder looks to see if there are any associated recovery files. If there are, the ‘Auto-recovery’ dialog box is displayed; if not, the original file is opened in the normal manner. When displayed, the dialog box always lists the original file first.

To load a named recovery file:

To see a preview of a LEGION Model File, double-click on its image. Click OK to close the preview.
To open a LEGION Model File in LEGION Model Builder, select its name and click OK.
The ‘Auto-recovery Options’ dialog box is displayed.
Select one of the following options:

Load the Auto-saved version and Save As a new file.

or
Load the Auto-saved version and replace the original file.

or
Do not load the Auto-saved version; delete it.
Click OK.

If you chose the first option in step 3, you will need to name and save the recovered file. The recovery file will then be deleted.

If you chose the second option in step 3, the file will open and will replace the original file; the recovery file will be deleted.

The third option will delete the recovery file without opening it.
