    Default How to restore broken DWG file?

    I tried to restore it AutoCAD, but nothing happened. I am using AutoCAD 2014. The file was created in a similar version of the program. I created it is not very long, but a couple of times a clean computer from unnecessary files including the location of temporary files. And in the end when I need them, I do not have backups. I know that a little too far with cleaning my computer, but I need a drawing which is in this file. Please tell me how to recover it. No special computer problems were not in the last couple months. No viruses, breakdowns system failures. But the file is broken.

    I'm not sure if you are missing the file or if it is corrupt. If you are unable to open it in ACAD, try attaching it as an XREF or Insert it as a block. If that doesn't help, try finding someone with another program like Microstation and see if they can open it and save it.

    I'm assuming you tried to "recover" the drawing? File>Drawing Utilities>Recover
    Maybe you could upload the file to see if anyone here in Augi can recover it?

    Or as greg.battin mentioned, you could try inserting it into a new drawing.
