CAD Interview Questions and Answers
Question - 81 : - How can we open a drawing file that was made with the automatic save features?
Answer - 81 : -
Autocad files have an extension of “.dwg” and will only open those files having this extension. To open the drawing files we have to rename them, by using Explorer or DOS prompt we can do that. If we are using EXPLORER we have to make sure that the option of “Hide file extensions for known file types” is not enabled. After the file is copied we can rename and use the OPEN command in Autocad to open the drawing.
