Retreiving a *.ac$ Autosaved d

Guest grzitln · 发表于 2022-7-7 18:59:39

We had a computer store upgrade our hardrive, and we seem to have lost a drawing. I have found a Autosave file (*.ac$) that might be the file I need.

HOW can I convert the autosave to a current *.DWG?????

Thanks in advance.

Since nobody has mentioned it, the ._DrawingRecovery command/palette will (a) FIND your autosave and backup files, and (b) allow you to OPEN them without any renaming operations.

Only *if* AutoCAD recognises that it's just crashed - which believe me is not guaranteed.

This is a useful automated way to do it, but IMHO it still pays to know the old fashioned way (in the past I've even used *.sv$ files to recover deleted linework - not that I'd recommend such a practise, but it can prove useful!)

Not exactly true. You can run the ._DrawingRecovery command at any time.
It will list any autosave and autosave backup files found in the appropriate location - with the exception of autosave files created from unnamed drawings.

True. But for the vast majority of users, finding and renaming files in Windows is a crap shot because of the default hidden file extensions, hidden directories, etc. It's much easier to explain to a new user to run an AutoCAD command than to get into Windows settings and all of that.
