AutoSave option AutoCad 2002

AutoSave option AutoCad 2002

AutoSave option AutoCad 2002

(OP)
My Auto save option in AutoCad 2002 is set so that it saves every 5 minutes to a location on our server. My computer crashed and i was unable to load the Auto save file. How can i load this file and do i have to change the type of file.

Regards

RE: AutoSave option AutoCad 2002

You should be able to, but a couple of notes. Your Explorer may or may not show file extensions next to the file name. If it does not, changing the file to somedrawing.dwg will change it to somedrawing.dwg.ac$ (so just be sure of this). Otherwise, just change the extension to .dwg and open it as a normal drawing. Ignore the warning about changing the file extension. Good luck.

I have Sucessfully loaded my AutoSaved drawing in VoloView.
But im still unable to load them in AutoCad 2002. When i select the file and click on properties it say's that AutoCad 2002 is the file selected to open it but after the program icon it say's Not Applicable, any suggestions!!!

This may seem simple, but I usually have to change the extension of the autosave file from the .sv$ to .dwg for Acad to open it.
