Recovering Damaged Files

To audit your drawing file

1. From the File menu, choose Drawing Utilities. Then choose Audit.
2. At the Fix Any Errors Detected? prompt, enter y or n.

After an audit, AutoCAD LT 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.
