PEGAdevelopment Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I was looking for a .tmp file from about 3 weeks ago, but it is gone. All that is in my temp folder are more recent files. Is there any way to find the old .tmp files? I'm guessing they're gone, hence the name "temp file". Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emigrato Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Open a DOS window, and type in: DIR C:\*.TMP /S/P/OD It will yield the actual list of .TMP files contained in the C disk, sorted by date, recursing subdirectories. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Why would you be looking for a TMP file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEGAdevelopment Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I had a layer on a drawing that I deleted a while back. I don't want to redo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So what value is the TMP file? Is that how Civil 3D saves a backup copy of a drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEGAdevelopment Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 It is the older version of my drawing, which has this layer I need. I was going to turn the .tmp file into a .dwg file and get the layer I deleted. Also, I can't find the dos prompt. The windows "run" command is confused by DIR C:\*.TMP /S/P/OD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You need to open a command prompt first. Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Have you saved this drawing more than once since this TMP file you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEGAdevelopment Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 It was not there, but thanks everyone for being so helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
