I have this problem, i was making a draw but never save this with a name, suddenly the autocad show me a Fatal error and close it, I was trying to found this file because the autocad was autosaving the file , but only found a drawing file with the extension .DWL, I tried to change this to .DWG extension using MS DOS but this system show me that it is no possible, I will appreciate if somebody can help me with this. |

Look for a file with an .sv$ extension. This will be your autosave file that should have been saved when Autocad crashed. If you find it, rename it with the .dwg extension. If you can't find a file with that extension, you will have to start your drawing over again.
In the future, SAVE YOUR WORK. Don't rely on Autocad to do it for you. |

Do you have AutoCAD set up to create BAK files too?
