the image is related. whenever i try to open the file it shows this blank screen. I’m new to creo student edition and don’t know much. I was previously an onshape user. i had made backups and made sure to save it a couple of times before closing. The random save i did while sketching is visible for some reason but none of my extrusions are visible.

i scanned all my pc’s recent files to see if i had accidently saved it somewhere else too but its to no luck. The sketch from the above mentioned case is not fully visible too.

When you save within a sketch, it is saved as sketch, you can see file names here. File extension is .sec.

Not sure this helps with what you are expecting.

Creo often has video card driver issues on personal computers, you may need to upgrade video card drivers on your computers, if you can’t see geometry or get black screens when opening files.
