Hi,

Try to look in your Temp folder   C:\Users\( your user name )\AppData\Local\Temp  follow the date and the name of your needed file.

Regards,

Once the file is closed, it cannot be done.

If your Autosave was enabled at the time, then you *may* have a .BAK file in your %temp% folder. Autosave would have had to have fired at least twice during the session. The main Autosave file (.sv$) will not exist, but the .BAK of it might.

You don't need to try and figure out that long path to your %temp% folder, just open Windows Explorer, in the address bar type in %temp% and press enter. Switch to DETAILS view, and sort by date, newest at the top.

Hi,

When a SV$-file is created from AutoCAD, then there will not be created a BAK for the previous SV$.

If it does something on your system then it's a setting I don't know, but I don't think such a setting exists.
