Files with SV$ extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system.

The following list contains programs grouped by 2 operating systems that support SV$ files. Programs which support SV$ file extension Temporary files are typically flagged as hidden and different applications used different extension to save them. Applications that used temporary files is such a manner monitor the files for such backup files and restore data from them if necessary. Many application use temporary file as data backup copies for data recovery. SV$ files can be used to restore project state in case of critical program error or accidental data loss. SV$ files are created automatically when a project is opened and contain history of all the changes made to the project SV$ files are deleted as soon as the project file is closed. >Please create sub directory under H:\ to be used as Auto Save location (e.g.SV$ is a temporary file format used as copy of DWG project file created by AutoCAD.


>Please use a local folder other than the root of a special folder.(e.g.:-My Documents\ACADAutosave) We will not recommend removing read only flag to work around the issue as this is Operating system's default behavior as documented here. Since "My Documents" folder is considered as special folder with Read Only attribute enabled. If "My Documents" folder is redirected to H:\ (Mapped home drive) you will not be able to choose this as AutoSave Location. (Including My Documents, My Pictures, Favorites etc.).Īlso It is recommended to use a local drive as Auto Save location to improve performance and to actually have the function of file recovery in case of network failure during the work. We have done some tests internally and we have come up with following results.ĭue to the Read only attribute, AutoCAD doesn't allow root of the special folder to be set as Auto Save location. We have some cases reported where H:\ drive (home drive) couldn't be used as AutoSave location within AutoCAD.
