Restore project from memory card?

[Rick P]

I need to restore a project from the memory card back into Designer. We upgraded to Windows7 and lost my recent projects on our hard drive. But, I had this one project on the memory card and would like to get it back into Designer. Is this possible??

[bergerud]

It is not possible. The project is "compiled" into machine instructions when written to the card. All you can do is re-carve the project using what was uploaded to the card.

Sadly, no. It's like trying to separate the ingredients of a cake after they are all blended together.

Darn...I don't remember the exact dimensions in board settings...it was a big project. I will be starting over from scratch it seems.

Food for thought. Won't a data recovery service be able to retrieve that data?

Hi Rick.

When you insert the card into your CW and open that project it is going to list your dimensions.

I helped one other user carve his project and then we scanned it to recreate the pattern so he could edit it further after the original file was lost in a similar manner on a crashed harddrive.

All is not lost, just one format of the plan but you still have a copy ready to carve so do it

Good idea, Capt.
