A DWP drawing patch is a text document that shows you what was updated, deleted, or added to a drawing.
DWP DRAWING PATCH
The patch above shows one update and one append to the drawing. Under update, you can see the color number (group 62) of a layer changed from 3 (green) to 7 (white).
Under append, a line is added to the drawing. Patch data are drawing exchange group codes and values.
Like the system variable, an even value for dbmod in the patch indicates the object database was not modified.
If you do not have a BAK file after saving your drawing file more than once, set the ISAVBAK system variable to 1.
