When using the Haochen CAD software to create drawings, we often encounter various unexpected situations; for example, what should we do if the software shuts down unexpectedly? Next, I will introduce to you the save path for temporarily saved files in the HaoChen CAD software! Methods for saving temporary files in CAD software: Method 1: First, open the HaoChen CAD software. Then click “Start–Run” on the taskbar, enter “%temp%” (without quotes) in the run dialog box, and execute this command to open the %temp% folder and view the files there; these are the temporary files of CAD. Of course, if entering the %temp% command doesn’t work, try running %tmp% instead; executing the %tmp% command should allow you to open the folder. Method 2: Generally, CAD professionals use automatic saving when creating drawings with CAD, so they are unaware of the exact location of the files. Moreover, these CAD files have a suffix of sv$, and this is why many users cannot find the location of these temporary CAD files. You can find your save path; the default automatic save path is usually the C:/WINDOWS/TEMP directory. It might also be in the C:\Documents and Settings\user (username)\Local Settings\Temp\ directory. Now go and check if the TEMP folder contains files with a *.sv$ extension. The above is how, when the HaoChen CAD software closes unexpectedly while drawing, we can use the methods mentioned to locate the temporary CAD save file.
The completeness of this file’s preservation is related to the auto-save timing settings; not all files are saved at all times.
AutoCAD has a function to recover files in case of accidental shutdown; simply reopen CAD to use it.
It has bugs when it comes to determining how long you’ve been inactive; automatic saving is problematic, so how much can be recovered depends on luck
