Retrieving a form tool on a part

Hello

 

Is it possible to recover a forming tool used on a part?

 

In fact, the initial shape tool was modified and saved by mistake. However, he is still in the room (not rebuilt for the moment).

Can't do a ctrl+Z on the saved part by mistake?

No, because it was several days ago...

It was when I wanted to reuse the shape tool that I noticed the modification on the tool.

If using EPDM see to retrieve the old version in the history.

If working on a server company, see to recover the possible backup of the server if there is one.

If working locally see to recover an automatic backup if it exists and not overwritten.

I'm going to go faster to do it again, I think....

Hello

 

See if the backup/recovery files are still in the old version (if the option has been enabled).

Or temporary files (which are hidden and start with a $ for SolidWorks).

 

Otherwise, I don't think it's possible.

Apart from retrieving the old sketch and copying it into a new shape tool.

 

For me, this is the best solution.
