Cant find my drawing anymore!

m.mulder96 — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 10:14:39 GMT

I have worked hard on a design for a schoolproject. This morning my drawing was still there but when i pushed the Top button I couldnt see it anymore. I could find the drawing back but I decided to click on top again and delete the black sides to get the drawing in full when i click on top. But after this i couldnt find my drawing anymore! I haven' t saved the drawing an try to to start autocad again but still I can' t find the drawing. Can somebody help me please? In the link i have put my file, i would really appreciate it!

Kind regard Mathijs Muler

"Cant find my drawing anymore!"

becaue this file is complete empty.

Check out your folder, search for a *.bak file of your drawing.

Or use the copy of your file, your backups.

Your post file says there are 24 missing scans in it, did you just lose track of where those are, or did you actually have more content?

Hi there, I have been working on several projects and they have been saved into folders, and yet a few of them I cannot find them anymore. I would appreciate it if you could help me on this one ASAP.
