Topic: Question about .BAK extension file.

[Andrea]

Hi all..

we have aquired a new software who save the project as a .BAK extension file.

Questions:

1) is .BAK file is nomalized or copyrighted ?
2) can we configure AutoCAD to change .BAK file extension default ?

Thanks.

There is MOVEBACK command line provided by ExpressTool
who change or add the "AcetMoveBak" Value in Windows registry located at:

eg:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6001:40C\FixedProfile\General
and
HKEY_USERS\S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXX\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6001:40C\FixedProfile\General

but after tests...
only the Key below affect the change
HKEY_USERS\S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXX\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R17.1\ACAD-6001:40C\FixedProfile\General
