Recover lost Autodesk® AutoCAD® work by finding hidden entries—even when standard backups aren’t available.

General Usage Instructions

Workflow:

  1. Start PRecover by typing PRECOVER at the AutoCAD command prompt.

  2. The app will automatically scan for autosave and recovery files related to your AutoCAD projects.

  3. Instantly view all found files in a clear, sortable list with information on file names, suggested drawing names, file size, and last modified date.

  4. Use the search box to filter files by name or date if needed.

  5. Select one or more files to recover and choose your preferred destination folder.

  6. Click “Recover” to restore your selected files. PRecover automatically prevents accidental overwrites and confirms your recovery is successful.

Known Issues

If you experience any issues or would like to request support for a specific AutoCAD version, please contact us at jannisaivatzidis@gmail.com.

Files from short or light editing sessions may lack autosaves, making recovery less likely compared to larger, heavily edited files.
