Vince Paske Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Autosaves, especially with files that have large raster's mapped, take foreever - even with SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddewald Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I agree. Just got an SSD hoping for faster autosaves only to find out that it's max that's causing the slowness. Am I wrong or does saving the file manually seem to take less time than the autosaves? It seems like there should just be a script that hits "save copy as" every few minutes so you can disable Max's autosave all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heni30 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 A workaround might be to break up your big file in several smaller files. I sometimes do that especially when there's a lot of busy stuff that's not going to change much. Then I just merge it periodically when necessary.

Chris MacDonald Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ^ I do that too. I tend to split models and make fairly extensive use of XRefs on large projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not that I use it, but one solution is to map a shortcut for "Incremental save" and turn-off autosave. Russian roulette, but, should be plenty faster. I actually do get pretty fast savings, but now you got me curious to see if there is indeed speed difference between manual save and autosave.
