Lost drawing in viewport

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I'm a first year student taking an AutoCAD class, I opened in paper space layout 2 from model space my drawing and inserted about 5 viewports to arrange my drawings, but when I saved it the next day I couldn't find my other drawings, just the one in the viewport I was working on.  I deleted some of my drawings because the viewports had all of my drawings on all of them so I deleted some and left them in the viewport that I wanted, but lost those drawings.  Is there a way to restore or get those drawings back?

Depending on exactly what you did. If you only saved once, you can go to the location of your file and rename the BAK file to COPY.DWG file and then open it. Your data may well be in that file. If that did not work and you managed to save over your bak file then try looking in your autosave folder and find the files with the SV$ extension that have a similar naming structure to your file. You may find data there. If you can't see the folder your autosave is set to you will need to update your Explorer(file manger not Internet) setting to show hidden files and folders.

 

Good luck
