File disappeared...

[Anonymous]

Hi, umm a pretty big issue came up where we tried to open an existing file, and its just not there anymore. No one deleted it moved it, etc. There are tmp files and a file of type "file" that were created at the date and time that the dwg was saved. We kind of need this dwg and so I am curious as to whether anyone has ran into this problem before? If so were you able to find the file? You can open up the non-existant file in autocad, like it understands its pathing. Yet you cannot find it in windows explorer and the file is completely empty...

Try searching for the *.ac$ file in the %temp% folder. Rename the extension to dwg.

Well I just solved it, you can rename the atmp.file as a dwg!
