Description

Opens the Drawing Recovery Manager panel to display it in the current workspace. The Drawing Recovery Manager panel appears at the same size and location that it did before it was closed or collapsed. Like any other dockable panel, the Drawing Recovery Manager panel can be either floating, docked or stacked.

The Drawing Recovery Manager panel displays a list of drawing files that can be recovered after a program or system failure.

After a program or system failure, the Drawing Recovery Manager panel appears automatically when needed and displays a list of all drawing files that were open, including DWG, DWT and DWS files. A new unsaved drawing can be found in the Drawing Recovery Manager panel if the corresponding autosave file (.sv$) was created while editing the new drawing.

Note: You can disable the balloon notification display by toggling off one of the TRAYICONS and TRAYNOTIFY system variables. In this case a drawing recovery message dialog box appears on the Start page instead.
Note: The DRAWINGRECOVERY and DRAWINGRECOVERYHIDE commands can be used to show/hide this panel.
