AutoCadLite13- Preview Image differs from content in open file HELP

Hi,

 

See attached file.

 

The preview file shows the correct contents of this file but once opened it seems that the file contents is from an earlier saved version?

 

Is there any way to recover the file that is shown in the preview file dialog box?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Cam

Preview is NOT an indication of content: it's simply a snapshot raster image embedded in the DWG file of what the file looked like when it was last saved successfully.

Are you perhaps missing an XREF? or other attachment? Did you experience a crash? Ther is nothing to 'recover' within the file, please take the time and identify what is missing.

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

 

The preview file is the last Saved version of the plan. Once you Save the plan again the preview is no longer valid.

OPITONS, Open and Save tab, Thumbnail Preview Settings for options.
