   I hope somebody can help me retrieve my file from this mayhem.
A very important drawing file I've been working recently and when I tried to open the file again to continue my work, the entire composition suddenly been change into some kind text reading "MUST re1/8cover!" and I can't change it back into its former state. I've done all types of recovery process in Autocad way, I also tried various types of anti malware and viruses utility but still none of it was effective. I didn't know what happened , and I am no expert in cad because I only study it all by myself. Please help me find solution to this problem. 

Thanks!!!

	Do you have a .bak file? You may be able to rename the .bak file to a .dwg file. You will lose any changes you made after the .bak file was created. Lets hope you have a backup file.

	For the " Tankman ", I had that procedure first thing in my mind way since from the very first incidence because I have my option set in auto-save mode that supposed to work automatically in every 15 minutes but when I tried to change the drawing back-up file( .bak ) to cad drawing format (.dwg) it doesn't open normally, a message appeared that the file wasn't not supported at all. But anyway man, thanks for the tip, I do really appreciate the concerns included within. I think I should look for Vladz tip and look what I could extract there that could do good that concerns with my misery. Again Thanks! Edited by Culangot - 02.Jun.2010 at 16:49

	I'm sure Vlazd's tip is probably the best. He knows. I too had trouble changing a .bak file to a .dwg file. Solved the problem at the DOS prompt, file where the *.bak file is; i.e.: CADFORUMCZ.bak ren CADFORUM.dwg. "ren" is short for "rename". Close the DOS prompt. Back to Windows and AutoCAD. The newly renamed file opened without a problem.
