The first one is about the AutoCAD file version, the second is with the functions PURGE and AUDIT, and the last one is related to the elements of your AutoCAD file. The excessive weight of a DWG file can be caused by a large amount of data in a drawing that may be being used or not used, object types and complexity.

You are working on a drawing in AutoCAD, which demanded a lot of hard work, and suddenly the PC turns off or crash or freeze, and you forgot save!, Wow! a huge problem ... but don’t worry, here is the solution.
AutoCAD has two types of autosave files: a backup file (*.bak) and autosave file (* .sv$). The bak is a file that always is generated as backup of dwg file (drawing, AutoCAD file) in the same folder where we saved. The sv$ is a temporary backup that is created in the temp folder found in the temp folder of your user’s files Windows, this sv$ saves us 100% of the content of the dwg file. These two backups, we can change to a dwg file of AutoCAD to open it, the bak file is easy, only you have to change its extension for example: floor_plan.bak to floor_plan.dwg, but the sv$ which has 100% of our work is somewhat more complicated, also in this tutorial I’m gonna show you how to create a folder to always have on hand the sv$ to change its extension and never lose our drawings and never be afraid of a fatal error or power outage.
