amadeubaptista Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Recently recovered thousands of DWG files on a hard drive with a corrupt partition, however, all the files recovered are not viewable or recoverable through autocad 2007. The files are 2004 dwg files. Is there any software available to repair DWG files that someone can refer me to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggBlue62 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Are the .bak files with the DWG files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The fact the files were created using AutoCAD 2004 has nothing to do with not being able to open them using 2007. There are no programs that can repair a corrupted DWG file. No "magic" button either. You can try using the RECOVER command and/or try starting a new drawing an inserting one of the drawings in it just as you would a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It is just possible that only the FAT (File Access Table) index is out of whack. I think you may find some sort of help with the makers of a program called File Scavenger. I have used that particular program to recover files from severely corrupted disk drives. The files usually are recovered in editable form along with their directory tree. If you try it, re-do the recovery from the original disk drive. Maybe a visit to their site will help.
