need acad 09 help quick!

[cummins6speed]

My computer crashed the other day so now I am frantically searching through the system in DOS trying to get everything off of the HD before I wipe it and re-install the OS.

My problem is that I cannot remember where auto-cad saves the .dwg files. I know its buried somewhere in the depths of the system in some random folder but I have been searching and cannot find it.

If someone could help me out with the file path the acad 09 defaults to that would be great!

Someone help before I just give up and wipe it out!

Since you know the file extension (.dwg) and you are in DOS, move to the root folder (type 'cd \' - without the quotes, and press enter) and then enter the command:
dir *.dwg /s

That should list all files with the DWG extension and their location.

I will try that. Thanks!

Glad you found it...
Now, when you set up the next system in the document folder make a folder that is named ACAD and save everything there, makes what you are doing so much simpler in the future...
