Regarding how to get back accidentally closed files in CAD software, here are five ways in general:
1.Auto-recovery feature
Most CAD software offers an auto-recovery feature that can help you get back files that were accidentally closed. When you reopen the CAD software, it may automatically detect files that were previously closed unexpectedly and prompt for recovery. If there are auto-recovery files available, you can choose to restore them to restore your previous work progress.
2.Temporary folders
Before closing the CAD software, it usually creates temporary files on your computer, which are copies of the files you are currently editing. You can try searching for a temporary folder on your computer and look for files related to the files you closed unexpectedly. The exact location and name may vary depending on the CAD software, you can refer to the documentation or resources of the CAD software for more information.
3.Back up your files
If you take regular backups of your files during your work and keep them in a different location, then you may be able to find the most recent backup file to recover the files that were accidentally closed. Check the backup file directory or use file recovery software to search for the most recent backup version.
4.Recovery options
Some CAD software offers a recovery option on startup. You can try to reopen the CAD software and select the restore option at startup. This may list files that were previously closed unexpectedly, and you can select the files you want to recover and continue editing.
5.Automatically save folders
CAD software usually has an autosave feature, which periodically saves files to a designated autosave folder. You can look up the folder and see if there is the latest autosave version available for recovery.
Please note that the specific recovery method may vary for each CAD software. I recommend that you refer to the documentation, help manuals, or resources of the CAD software you are using for more accurate recovery methods and procedures. Additionally, saving files regularly and establishing backups is a good Xi that can help you minimize the risk of data loss.
