from a write-protected folder (for example, if you work on a network or open
files on a CD), specify a different location for your temporary files.
The temporary folder that you specify must not be write-protected, and the
drive containing the folder should have sufficient disk space for the temporary
files. It is recommended that you manually delete the files from this folder
on a regular basis to ensure sufficient space is provided for temporary files. If
not enough space is available for temporary files, you may experience errors
or instability in the program.
If you want to use a file that contains custom interface elements, specify it in
the Customization Files item on the Application tab (Application Preferences
dialog box). The default customization file is acad.cuix.
Repair, Restore, or Recover Drawing Files
If a drawing file is damaged or if your program terminates unexpectedly, you
can recover some or all of the data by using commands to find and correct
errors, or by reverting to a backup file.
Repair a Damaged Drawing File
If a drawing file is damaged, you can recover some or all of the data by using
commands to find and correct errors.
Repair and Recovery
When an error occurs, diagnostic information is recorded in the acad.err file,
which you can use to report a problem.
A drawing file is marked as damaged if corrupted data is detected, or if you
request that the drawing be saved after a program failure. If the damage is
minor, sometimes you can repair the drawing simply by opening it. A recovery
notification is displayed while opening drawing files that are damaged and
need recovery. You can
RECOVER. Performs an audit on, and attempts to open, any drawing file.
AUDIT. Finds and corrects errors in the current drawing.
RECOVERAUTO. Controls the display of recovery notifications before or
after opening a damaged drawing file.
