welcad Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) I have autocad 2000i and can't open two drawings on the same screen. The book I am reading currently is autocad 2002: no experience required. In the book it as to open the drawing that I am currently working on and a new drawing after, then choose window>tile vertically. That doesn't seem to work for me. Also, when I click on window ther is only the active file on list instead of two or others that I have previously opened. I think I am stuck. Maybe there is something to change in the options for the allowance of more than one file to be on the list so then it would become possible to allow a split screen of two different drawings.Thank you. FIGUERED IT OUT! tool>options>system>single-drawing compatability unchecked. THANKS foryour replies. Edited April 9, 2011 by welcad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 you can try SDI=0 but I don't think you can open two drawings in one AutoCAD session with 2000. That came later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you find yourself using an older version that won't open multiple drawings, you can always open multiple sessions of Autocad and do almost the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
