Re: lost .crv file
If I recall this has come up before and I think the response is no. But, you could check with Vectric Support to see if they have a method. Also, did you do a search on File Explorer to see if the original .crv file is in a different location. I use this function quite a bit. Just pull up File Explorer, click on This PC, and then enter the file name you are looking for in the Search Quick Access block on the upper right tab. Your File Explorer may be a bit different from mine. Hint: Don't do as I did and leave the external harddrive running for this search unless you put it into one of those originally. Hope this helps.

Re: lost .crv file
There are ways of doing it but unless it's a very simple design (basically only profile cuts) it's an awful lot of work to do.

It won't help you now, but here is a thread on various ways to save and backup work: <Ctrl S>, <Ctrl Alt S>, and Backups

Re: lost .crv file
I like Ctrl-Alt-S, Increment and save file. It's a great way to save a development milestone for a project. I use it whenever I finish section of development.
