    Default Incremental Saves - Isavepercent

    Is there any reason that I should not set ISAVEPERCENT to 0, besides the fact that saves will be slower?

    I have done some research on the web and see that setting it to 0 has many potential benefits.
    • Smaller drawing size
    • Drawings open faster
    • Less chance for corrupt drawings (this mostly referred to R13 and R14 but who knows, might help in 2002 also)
    • Can fix a problem that may occur with file dates (I have not experienced this personally)
    The only negative I have read is the save times are longer. Big Deal. Why does Autodesk recommend ISAVEPERCENT be set to 50%? Is this just CYA to justify putting the command in there in the first place?

    I have mine set to 0. I don't even notice a difference in the time it takes to save. I think this is an outdated feature for when computers were a lot slower.

    None that I know of.
    Ours are set to zero.
