  • Number of auto-save files per drawing: Set how many auto saved drawings CET should save per drawing (2 drawings are default).

File mirroring

• Use file mirroring: Select this checkbox if you want CET to create copies of all your drawings and backups to multiple locations of your choice, which could be local or a network drive.
  
  You will want to keep the file mirroring folder path as short as possible, to avoid reaching character limits on some file systems, as CET will duplicate the folder structure

Cleaning

User can select age of files to be removed from the drop down in the prompt (the default is 15 days). Click "Remove" to verify files are removed. If there are no files to remove, user will be prompted "No backup files were found".
