HELP....!!!!!!   How can I recover my IDW file (Contains 8 sheets of drawings)

Thank you for your help.

Wow! It doesn't smell good...

 

Isn't there an auto-save file to save somewhere?

Hello

You have to try to restart again. Is the network well connected?

No backup available on the network?

A windows search with the file name by also looking for hidden and system files does not yield any results?

In the root folder that contains your file is an oldversion folder. You will find an earlier version of your file if of course you have already saved it once...

Hello

 

Thanks for Cisco's answer, I was able to recover my IDW file from the OLD VERSION folder. just lost 1 hour of work but it's worth it because my file had 10 Folios.

Once again, a big thank you to CISCO.

Have a nice weekend
