prodromosm 12 Posted January 8 Hi . A friend sent me a dwg file created since 2018. He can not open it in Autocad. I try to open it with recover command but nothing. I have a *bak file . i try to rename it to *.dwg and open it but nothing. Is any other way? Can any one fix it? I upload the two files. Thanks SABBOP_EGSA_09.dwg SABBOP_EGSA_09.bak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eldon 103 Posted January 9 If one opens this file (and the backup file) in a text editor programme, all one sees is a continuous word of 180 pages length. It is all the same character which is usually an invisible one that cannot be seen in Wordpad, but is seen in Word if one sets it up correctly. So, even if the file started life as a drawing file, it is now nothing as all the data has been overwritten. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
