Recovery Toolbox for DWG

Recovery Toolbox for DWG is a software utility whose sole purpose is to aid individuals in recovering information from DWG files, as well as open and explore them.

The installation process does not come with any kind of unpleasant surprises and it is over in a jiffy, while the interface you are met with encompasses a design which can only be described as simple and clean. It is comprised of a menu bar, a few buttons and a pane in which to view uploaded items. Moreover, Help contents are provided, thus ensuring that all types of users can work with it, without facing any kind of difficulties.

This software application enables you to retrieve data from corrupted or damaged DWG files and transfer the information obtained to AutoCAD for further use.

There are three types of recovery methods you can choose from, namely “Direct read” (headers and tables only; quick, yet not very effective on heavily damaged items), “Recovery read” (recover drawing by scanning file; effective) and “Recovery read + Direct read” (recommended; most powerful).

In addition to that, you can specify the file’s version (2000, 2004, 2007, 2012 etc.) or set up the tool to automatically detect it. Source items can be sent to other people through your default e-mail client and the language can be changed.

It is important to understand that the recovery process might take several minutes, and it is going to put a strain on your computer’s performance, as it requires quite large amounts of CPU, yet the memory usage is minimal.

To wrap it up, Recovery Toolbox for DWG is a pretty useful piece of software when it comes to recovering data from damaged DWG drawings. Although it sometimes burdens the computer’s performance, the response time is quite good. The interface is accessible to all users and our tests did not reveal any error, bugs or crashes.
