Could someone please show me the steps how to recover my old Cad drawing files that are in .BAK file?My computer crashed, with smoke released.  I tried to search the old cad drawing on my new computer and all I can see is the name of the drawings, but they all in .BAK format.TIA

Rename the file to have ".dwg" instead of a ".bak" extension.
