Type DRAWINGRECOVERY on command line. It will display the Drawing Recovery Manager which will list the available files that may help you recover what was lost after program or system failure.

Hi,

>> .... but it did not open and only comes a black screen  <<

if you confirm that you already save your drawing with a special name . then the problem is where is your CAD elements ? please make sure that you open the right CAD drawing and from the right folder . if you're certainly sure try after opening to  ZOOM >> Extents  and see if any objects appeared . also yo can take a copy from the .Bak file for the same drawing and rename the extension .Bak to .Dwg . 

Regards,

If zoom extents doesn't work as suggested maybe you added something way off to one side by accident. After you do a zoom extents, press Control + A. That will select everything on the screen. Do you see any blue grips? If you see a bunch on one side of the screen and a couple on the opposite side then one of those is something you probably put there by accident. Zoom in to one of them and see if it's your project. If it's something you don't need then delete it and zoom extents again. Make sure you unselect everything with ESC and then reselect the things to delete. You don't want to control+A and then delete and erase everything by accident either.

Can you share the file so we can look at it?

HI

in the drawing press ctrl+A and cheek the numbers on the properties box  

 if its 0 thant mean you lost everything (try recover your BAK and autosave file)

but if it is more than 0 (depends to the your drawings ) you have to cheek zoom, layers off or on , layers freeze or,...

for better help  share your file with people in the forums 

Good luck
