KennethA Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm a bit confused with the new interface in Acad 09. How do I make .dwg's open in the same window I already have open? K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papagyi Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Do you means you can only open single dwg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
succu8us Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 maybe he's asking how to open multiple dwgs in autocad 09. i'm experiencing it also. when i open another dwg file, another autocad 09 will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethA Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 succu8us is right. When I open a .dwg, a new acad 09 starts. How do I set it to open in the current window? Its no problem in Acad 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your CAD2009 just recently installed and as default set that way? Its usually preset already to SDI=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethA Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks alot for the answers. It came with Inventor 2009, but I have not used it before now, because I usually draw 2D with 2007 LT. It was installed like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethA Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Well, that didn't work. I typed in SDI and the preset was already at 0. I tried both 1 and 0 but it still opens files in a new Acad application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I don't have 2009 (installed) but I think you need to set TASKBAR = 1 too. There have been some recent posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have TASKBAR = 0, and SDI = 0 and these seem to work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
