    Default autocad data on my pc

    I have numerous .dwg files on mine working computer in AutoCAD 2016. But just since today one of it hasn't simply opened. I have totally checked others, they have properly opened.

    Please explain better.
    It sounds like you have some AutoCAD drawings on your computer, you're using AutoCAD 2016, and you can't open one of the drawings?

    If so, while in AutoCAD, try to use "Recover" on the file.

    Another thing to try is to look for a .BAK file of the problem drawing (usually in the same location as the .DWG) and rename it with a .dwg extension and try to open that in AutoCAD.
    Example I use is: original drawing: "Yourdrawing.dwg" you would rename the BAK file (keeping the BAK) like "yourdrawing.bak.dwg"

    Another thing to try:

    Start a new empty drawing
    Use the INSERT command to insert the DWG that will not open.
    After you get it inserted as a block, you can explode it, and Save it.
