Where is the autosave sketchup location ?

The autosave location in SketchUp varies depending on your operating system and version. Below are the typical locations for autosave files:

Windows

  1. Default Autosave Folder: Autosave files are usually saved in the same folder as your original SketchUp file with a .skp extension and the prefix AutoSave_. For example: AutoSave_Filename.skp
  2. Alternate Location: If the original file hasn’t been saved yet, autosave files might be stored in a temporary folder. The location typically is:php C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\SketchUp\SketchUp <Version>\SketchUp\working\
    • Replace <YourUsername> with your Windows username.
    • Replace <Version> with your SketchUp version (e.g., 2022).
  3. Custom Path: You can check or change the autosave path in SketchUp under Window > Preferences > Files > Models

Mac

  1. Default Autosave Folder: Autosave files are typically saved in the same location as the original file with the prefix AutoSave_.
  2. Temporary Folder: If the file hasn’t been saved yet, autosave files are stored in the temporary directory. Use the following path to locate it ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp <Version>/working/
