Autocad can unexpectedly terminate for various reasons such as a hardware issue,
00:08
power failure or even a software problem.
00:11
If this happens,
00:12
you can restore the drawing files that were open as
00:15
long as they weren't unsaved after a programmer system failure,
00:19
the drawing recovery manager automatically opens the
00:22
next time you start the application,
00:24
you'll get this drawing recovery dialogue to let you know
00:28
the drawing recovery manager
00:30
will display an expandable list of all files that were open when the crash occurred.
00:34
These may be of the types D
00:36
WG DWT
00:37
template files or DWS
00:39
standards files.
00:41
Each file's entries may include the drawing file itself.
00:45
It's B
00:45
A
00:46
backup file,
00:47
the auto save file which has an extension of SV dollar sign
00:51
or if you were prompted to save before the crash,
00:54
you'd also get the underscore recover file you created.
00:58
They are listed in the order that they were last saved.
01:01
So in this example,
01:02
we can surmise that the D
01:04
WG file was QA
01:06
then worked on, then autos save invoked itself, creating the SV dollar sign,
01:11
temporary save file.
01:13
When one of the saved files is highlighted,
01:15
you'll see some information about it in the details
01:17
panel in the middle of the recovery manager.
01:20
The most important part of this information is the date and time stamp,
01:24
examining the last save time can help you decide
01:27
which saved version you want to revert to.
01:30
You'll also get a thumbnail preview of the file. If available in its current state,
01:34
perhaps you'll be able to identify the last object you added
01:37
or delete it to help you decide which version to use.
