Forums » CircuitLab Support Forum

returning to a project on circuit lab today, i find warnings about circuit incompatibility which are totally unresponsive, then the website unobtainable. when the website came back i find 2 days of work missing despite me having saved it.

i have had this before and a staff member was able to retrieve lost work. any chance you could do it again?

i really am beginning to think that circuit lab is not for me and i would be better off just buying a cad design program.

i have found a printout now and redrawn the missing sections.

thanks, i'll check it out. i only use circuit lab for drawing simple schematics. i never use the simulator element.

Hi @RedLemon,

Were you working offline, or are there other special circumstances we might be able to investigate so we can figure out why you may have lost work?

@signality, lots of people pay for CircuitLab because it's better for them, and because they want to see software developers invest their time and effort building better tools in this space. We thank them.

no, i just left CL for a day on my iMac, and when i returned to it, i got incompatability warnings that did nothing when i clicked on them. i have reason to believe that the CL windows (in chrome) thought i was offline, but i wasn't.

ideally what i want is a tool to produce automotive schematics. i have managed to produce some useful examples with CL, but the electronic-centric palette of components and switches has been a challenge.
