Disappearance of elements in the object sheet

[Coline]

Hi everyone !

I worked on a document all day yesterday and saved it last night. Only this morning when I opened it I discovered that a large part of the work had disappeared. All that's left is a section I'd pasted from another file (but it's not even complete).

Another thing I don't understand is that in the automatically generated 'layout' sheets, you can see a completely different drawing that doesn't belong there (I did draw this plan, but it was in another autocad file). 

How can I find all my work recorded last night?

Thanks for your help !

Start with looking in Options, Files, Temporary File location, in this location will be AC$ & SV$ files, also check save file path, you can see by date etc try renaming them to .dwg and open.

 

Make a copy of the BAK file and rename it to Coline.dwg and open may help. 

 

Very unusual.

 

I have autosave set to say 15 minutes this will make the SV$ files. SAVETIME.

Is it possible that the "automatically generated layout sheets" are the previews on your splash screen? In other words, are you looking at thumbnails of all your drawings? That might explain why you're seeing different parts of different drawings. Also, layouts aren't generated automatically, but those thumbnails are.

 

Let's hope that's what is going on, so you can get your work back by opening the right drawing.
