How do you Recover from a System Failure in GstarCAD?

A hardware problem, power failure, or software problem can cause this program to terminate unexpectedly. If this happens, you can restore the drawing files that were open.

If the program fails, you can save your current work to a different file. This file uses the format, DrawingFileName_recover.dwg, where DrawingFileName is the file name of your current drawing.

Resolve Drawing Files

After a program or system failure, the Drawing Recovery Manager opens the next time you start GstarCAD. Drawing Recovery Manager displays a list of all drawing files that were open, including the following drawing file types:

• Drawing files (DWG)

• Drawing template files (DWT)

• Drawing Standards files (DWS)

For each drawing, you can open and choose from the following files if they exist

• BackName_recover.dwg

• BackName_a_b_nnnn.sv$

• BackName.dwg

• BackName.bak

Note:The drawing, backup, and recover files are listed in the order of their time stamps-the time when they were last saved.
