Auto Save File

Rail3D auto-saves the current layout every five minutes - but only when the simulation is paused.

Autosave doe not operate when the simulation is running - if it did there would be an unsatisfactory drop in frame-rate (a pause) while the autosave operated.
When the layout is paused, if an autosave file has not been created for five minutes or more, the autosave file is created.
The autosave file has the same name as the layout file, is in the same location as the layout file and has the extension .auto
An autosave file is a normal Rail3D save layout file and can be opened in the same way as normal layout file.
If the program is closed unexpectedly and there is an autosave file, the next time the program is opened, it will prompt to recover the autosave file.
