I learn AutoCAD 22.0, as I know it is the ultimate version. It is very complicated for me. But there I am working my job in .dwg file. Today I've made something and all my job for a day has disappeared. I tried to get it back, but I don't know how.
 
Moved as this is non photography-related. I'm sure there are AutoCAD forums where you could get a quick answer.

It may have been saved as an alternate file type that simply doesn't show up. Search your hard drive for any other large files. If you find it, convert the file type.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. I have a very stupid question, but there´s always a chance ;) : you don´t use a Mac and have a time machine on your computer, do you? Your last backup would be maximum one hour old and you could easily get back to that stage.
 
Have you tried Drawing Recovery Manager? Look under Drawing Utilities. Not sure which version you have. I run an older LT version. And it has the Drawing Recovery Manager. Backup files are / should be listed there. So, if you did not save your work. A copy of some of your work should be there.

The most radical solution is autocad recover when other methods don't work

The place where you may read various thing about Autocad - How to repair corrupt AutoCAD drawings and fix its errors

Here you may read more about article below: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp.../Drawing-file-is-not-valid-error-message.html

However, a few things may get it to open:
  • Try to open the drawing file directly instead of using the Recent Documents menu.
  • Check that the storage location that holds the drawing is working properly.
  • Use the RECOVER and RECOVERALL commands on the drawing.
  • Attempt to insert the damaged file into a clean drawing or template using the INSERT command.
 
I would suggest starting to learn your file structure on your hard drive. If you understand Autocad, I have a hard time understanding you don't understand where your work is being saved at. Seems a little suspicious
