With unknowns reason program has crashed and then when i opened file with 2D Drawings there was saved my 3D model from the second file and the file was completely messed up. I tried to recover it with .bak file but failed. Please help me if You can.

Have you tried the RECOVER command?

If your Autosave is active, there may be a .BAK file (a backup of an autosave file) in your %temp% folder.

Check your automatic save directory
