AutoCAD Crash Recovery: How to Retrieve Lost Work and Avoid Frustration

Issue:

This article describes how to recover lost work in a drawing after a crash occurred in AutoCAD. A drawing that was open at the time no longer has the recent changes made to it.

Solution:

By default, AutoCAD creates a backup file when saving and does an autosave that occurs every 10 minutes.

Recovering a backup (BAK) file

The backup file (BAK) is in the same folder as the drawing (DWG). Backup files will be the last-saved version. To recover a backup file:

Open the folder containing the DWG file.

Look for a file with the same name of the one to recover and a BAK extension.

Change the BAK extension to DWG.

Open the file in AutoCAD.

Recovering an autosave (SV$) file

The autosave file (SV$) is by default in the Temp folder for the current Windows user. Autosave files will be the most recent (10 minutes old). To recover an autosave file:

Open the Temp folder by typing %tmp% into the Start menu.

Look for a file with the same name of the one to recover, a time stamp code, and an SV$ extension.

Change the SV$ extension to DWG.

Open the file in AutoCAD.

Notes:

When doing a normal save in AutoCAD, the autosave file is removed and the autosave timer restarted. The SAVETIME system variable can be changed to make this more or less frequent.

Autosave files are designed to be used when there is a crash or if a drawing was not able to be saved normally.

By default, file extensions are not displayed for known file types by the operating system. In order to change the extensions, the display of all file extensions must be enabled.
