Is your data something you don't want to lose? Then make sure ( at whatever cost you are comfortable with) that you have your data. Never rely on an application to save it for you, or the situation you are in - happens. If you do something you want to save, whether it's CAD or a photo editor, or a word processor, or authoring an email - then you save it.

The nature of the computer application does not matter.

Kindest regards, - this has nothing to do with CAD and/or your self-declared novice status. If like myself, you had done a small amount of research on the forum member you were about to post a comment to then you 'MAY' have been able to deduce from my new and ONLY posts in 'Beginner Tutorial' that I'm relatively new to CAD, hence offered a constructive piece of advice with quantified justification as opposed to the one you have posted.

By my reckoning this 'should' qualify you to be an ADVANCED BricsCAD user although 19 months shouldn't be long enough for you to forget the novice position from whence you started your journey.
