To save with the Hit enter to continue error!

To open a back up file which is .bak file extension.
rename the .bak to .dwg. then you can open it to autocad program.

Dont put your dwg file or any other original file at the desktop.
Put a shortcut rather than the original file. You don't know if you accidentally delete or clean the desktop. you never know. sometimes kids play at your desktop and they accidentally delete it. so its a tip for better filing. to create a shortcut, right click a file then select create a shortcut.

Creating a gutter for your roof.
If you have a split type roofing or hip to gable type roof. Create a section of your gutter then create a path for it. do not use plain polyline but use 3d polyline found in the draw toolbar. A simple polyline is used only for one direction or a single way. what i mean is if you start with the hip roof then comes to gable roof, you cannot continue with a simple polyline command. Thats why use a 3d polyline instead.

Creating layer for 3d modeling.
If your now in 3d modeling phase. don't forget to layer it out every different material you want to use and select different colors for easy management
