Not sure if this has been fixed, was a one off or is still something that could happen. Just thought I would post it incase anyone else thought they were going mad!
Had a dormer, grouped elements - including an opening in a roof.
I mirrored it, got a group error message. carried on working and copy/rotated it instead. After a bout 5 minutes working I notice that everything I had done previously had been undone.... ie it was as if I had not done any work since opening the file and mirrorng the group and what I had done afterwards was all I had done to the file (the file seemed to revert back to the state it was when I had opened it the second I mirrored the group)
To check that this really was the case I saved as, then ran the journal file to watch and make sure I hadnt imagined working for an hour prior to mirroring that group - and I sat and watched right before me as the second that group was mirrored everything I had done up until that point dissapeared, without warning - just vanished.
I was/am gobsmacked by this one. I hope it was a complete freak one off. But now every time I convinced I have already done something and its not there I am going to think it is this!!
R8.0 build 20050412_2300
And dissapointingly, I just deleted the end off the journal file and ran it again to get my work back - so I cant send it to the factory. But it did happen, I just cant show anyone now I have edited the journal!!
