Today, somehow, someone had deleted all of our interior elevations (170 views) from the central file. 

They still exist in 2 local files (computers of the people who have been absent from the office), but we need to figure out a way to bring them back to the central file. I understand that I can make one of the two "absent people's" local files into a Central File, but then we loose days worth of work accomplished by 5 people by taking the model back to the way it looked like the day those absent people were at work.

Is there anything else we can do to take specific data from a specific Local to Central?

Huge deadline tomorrow. Help, please.

Are you saying that non of the current users have a local copy that still contains these views?  .....

I would look at my central & local file rollbacks to see if I could find a later file with the elevations and little work lost.  The question is what will take the most time to replace....If you have to re-create these views... 170 WOW! that will take some time.  If this are highly annotated, you can open projects side by side and transfer from the preserved old file to your current file ... but 170 views will take some work.

You need to look in your slog file and identify who created the problem.  Some re-training or other actions are well deserved.  Someone is not paying attention!

Out of curiosity, how does one interpret the SLOG?  I opened one up for a workshared project, but can't decypher any of the actions, only the login times and names of different computers.  I haven't had any disasters of this scale... I few deleted linked files, sites, floors, etc from the newbies, but it could be useful to indentify where the problems arise, since everyone is ALWAYS "soooo careful, it wasn'tme, no, definitely not... I didn't touch that..."
