Recover a Damaged File | 99
To audit an open drawing file
1 From the File menu, choose Drawing Utilities ➤ Audit.
2 At the Fix Any Errors Detected? prompt, enter y or n.
After an audit, AutoCAD places all objects with errors in the Previous
selection set for easy access. The output from the recovery audit is written
to an ADT log file if the
AUDITCTL system variable is set to 1 (on). This is
the same file created by the recovery operation.
If the drawing contains errors that
AUDIT cannot fix, try using RECOVER.
RECOVER recovers any DWG file specified in the File dialog box that is not
the current drawing.
Command line
AUDIT
To recover a drawing from a backup file

4 Type a new name using the .dwg file extension.
5 Open the file as you would open any other AutoCAD drawing file.
To turn error reporting on or off
1 At the Command prompt, enter reporterror.
