    Default Drawing dissapeared

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi there.

    Im new on the forum and i got a big problem. I used a whole day at work drawing in AutoCAD LT 2010, i saved my work and went home. The next day i re-opened the same drawing, but now everything i drew is gone, all changes i made is all gone. Is there any way i can either find a back-up file or anything else a can do to save my lost work?

    Do you have AutoCAD set up to create back up (bat) files?

    If you do then the bak file should be in the drawing file folder. You can also try looking in My Documents.

    Remark is correct, Hopefully you have an autosave file, But if not,My motto has always been... It's always easier to do the second time around. Good Luck, I hate when this happens.
