Auto-save in drafting software is more trouble than it's worth

Honestly, it breaks my focus and wrecks projects. Tbh, manual saves keep me sane.

Working on a big floor plan in AutoCAD last year, the auto-save kicked in right as I was deleting old layers... I used to swear by auto-save for safety, but that mess changed my mind. It saved a broken file and I lost hours of work trying to fix it. Now I manually save before any major change... it keeps me focused on what I'm actually doing. The software trying to help just ends up interrupting my flow.

Wait it actually saved the messed up file as the auto-save version? That's brutal.
