Hi,
Sorry for asking this as I am sure it has been asked before, I just can't find it.

I'm NOT having a problem with the taskbar command I understand the difference.....

My problem is I want to open multiple drawings in one AutoCAD session. Every time I open a drawing it starts a new session......Also SDI is set to '0' is that right?

Please Please help it is really slowing me down!

Hi,
I feel I may have been a little harsh in my title for this post....Well not to worry, I have cracked it.
I will put my solution here in case anyone else searches and finds it.

I changed my 'open with' settings in windows explorer to AutoCAD DWG Launcher. I previously had this set to AutoCAD LT Application.

-Obvious really!

I've had this problem too before and know how annoying it can be until you fix it.
