Autocad opens in a new program every time

Hi guys

When I am opening a drawing from windows explorer, it opens it up in a new Autocad window every time, instead of opening up in the already opened Autocad program. Hope this makes sense, just annoying me....

Cheers

Check the variable SDI, set it to 0 if it is at 1.

Hi Tiger, thanks for your reply. It was already set to 0

try changing the TASKBAR variable to 0.

Also, check the similar threads at the bottom of this page and see if you find something there that might help you.

Hi Tiger, I never noticed that area at the bottom, thats good to know, thanks. I done a search for this problem and couldnt find it, typical, lol. I found my solution here:

Thanks Tiger

Nps, I had no idea about the Similar Threads until someone pointed it out to me. That is also the reason we love descriptive titles

Glad you got it sorted
