Is it recover unsaved data in Illustrator?

  • i was working on a file and Illustrator suddenly crashed, just wondered if the data gets saved somewhere.
  • So look for (.tmp files), if you finf the file you are supposed to be able to open it... BUT there are no warranties, if the file got deleted or corrupted then you are out of luck.
    In Windows the files are usually in: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp. (%USERNAME% is "YOUR" username)
    Also the files could be a "hidden file" you you might need to set to folders to show all "hidden files"
