I have been working on a SpaceClaim geometry cleanup for hours and SpaceClaim crashed during one of the operations. Now I can’t open the file I was working on. How can I recover my model?

You may not be able to recover the most recent version of the model, but you should be able to go back to a slightly older version by playing back one of the journal files from your previous SpaceClaim session Journals record the actions you performed while creating your design, including file actions, such as closing a design. You must play back a journal from a fresh SpaceClaim session to avoid errors. SpaceClaim records journal information automatically to SpaceClaim journal files, which can be found in one of the following directories: C:Users
