siliconbauhaus Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I had a file crash on me yesterday ( was doing some undos and it locked up) I can recover the file but it hangs up on regenerating the model. Does anyone have a suggestion or know of a better recovery tool? I've tried all the usual acad options. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, maybe you could export it to a new file in hopes of bypassing the corrupt part. Try opening the file in a non-Autodesk product. Other apps can often open ACAD files ACAD cannot.

IC Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Do you have any sv$ (autosaved) files from before the last saved one? Convert it to dwg in DOS and it should load up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siliconbauhaus Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I tried halting the regen and blocking it out but I cant open or insert the new file. Looked all over the place for the autosave files to no avail and the IT department goofed on the backup arrrgh I just remembered that I saved a version locally so I dont have to redo it all at least.

UltraCadViolet Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 yes. always click the save... i lost so much stuff in the past... all becuase of big files usually. i had too many xref, and when i was switching from paperspace to model space. it was memeory overload. i now try to just keep things as simple as possible. if i can temporarily freeze xrefs that i don't have to look at to make a drawing and just need them in the final version. then wheneverything is done and such. and i'm already in pspace then i unfreeze those layers. you might also want to do a purge command if some files are big. just to make them smaller wherever possible. that was a big prob for me when i was running the cad LT version. now i have 2004 full and i'm doing alright. but i did upgrade my ram considerably - i think it really helps. especially if you just have a regular desktop computer. i have a dell . what version are you running and how much ram? did you get any.. (not enough virtual memory error messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
