      The Animator file is created correctly, but data are not saved to the model file.

      I need to investigate.

      Just one additional check. When you save the animation (blue disk button), can you check that in the Undo menu of Sketchup, you have "Animator: Save data".

      Also, before exiting, could you invoke the Maintenance Dialog box and check that the "sequence 1" is displayed in the list.

      Thanks

      Fredo

          Useful. thanks.

          For the Undo, I mean the Sketchup Undo in the Edit menu of Sketchup.

              I mean Create the animation, Save it from within Animator (so blue disk turns gray) and check the Sketchup Undo label/tooltip.

              By the way, could you type the folloiwng command in the Ruby Console:
              Sketchup.active_model.path

              This should return the file path name of the SKP or nothing.

              Thanks

              Fredo

                  It's a little bit of a mystery!!

                  I think I have to send you a special version of Animator with traces to see what is going on.
                  Could you PM me your email address, as the rbz file is above the 2 Mb.

                  By the way, could you also check in Tools > Fredo6 Collection > Animator > Default_parameters.... that you have set up the auto-save.

                  Thank you very much

                  Fredo

                      Was this issue solved? My issue is similar. Movements and cameras I put in disappear when I re-open the file?

                          Hi Fredo! First of all thank you for this amazing plug in.
                          And hi forum!

                          I came back to a model I was working last night and there's nothing saved in the Animator-Clip Editor, but I think I probably didn't save it as I was very sleepy.

                          So if the clip settings are not in the Clip Editor that means that I didn't save it?
                          Or there is any way to find previous clips? Hopefully it's saved somewhere in a folder in my PC?

                          Many thanks!

                            All Animator information is saved within the model. So, if you retrieve a previous version or the last backup save (.skb), it should be there.
                            This assumes however that you did save the animation at some point.
