It appears that after a crash, BAK files can be opened in AutoSketch for Windows, but SKFs cannot. The user is seeking urgent assistance for a business need.
I've been made aware that some versions don't have access to all the tools? do you know if this has full access or where i can upgrade to the extra tools??
AutoSketch is actually a discontinued application. This means you won't have the possibility to obtain new versions of the software as well as licenses to use it since it was a commercial product. The old link that lead to the AutoDesk website is no longer working and there have been reports on the Autodesk forums that the product is nowhere to be found.
You will have to choose other applications from this category since AutoSketch is no longer available. At this point, your alternatives are: AutoCAD LT and Sketchbook Pro.
Since the latest version of the application is compatible only with Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems, you can try to download and install Windows XP Mode and install the application in this environment. Windows XP Mode makes it easy to install and run many applications compatible with Windows XP directly on a Windows 7 computer.
Can anyone suggest an alternative to Autosketch that will run on a Mac?

You can visit Mac Informer in order to search for a software that suits you best. There you can find lots of designing software that are specially developed for MAC computers and you can obtain a direct link to their official download pages.
AutoSketch is a drafting tool that allows you to create conceptual sketches. It uses pre-defined functions and tools that you can use to create various sketches which can be later sent to actual physical production. To be able to work with AutoSketch, various knowledge is required, mostly in technical drawing. The software is somehow similar to the AutoCAD application, only with fewer elements.
