    Default Opening Drawings From A Network Drive - AutoCAD 2007

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    One of our CAD users where I work is experiencing this issue: When accessing our drawings from the storage server, he cannot open. He can get to the drawing files, but must drag them to his desktop and then open. Sounds like it should be a simple fix or setting. Any clues? He claims this started about 2 weeks ago. I may try a system restore if all else fails.

    Mostly do drafting related to manufacturing. From doing site layouts with proposed updates, additions and renovations to be budgeted and submitted for bid, to updating and changing existing drawings to reflect maintenance and repair/revision work done on site.

    Sounds like a network folder permissions problem.

    What happens when the CAD user tries to open the file on the network? Any messages? Are they using AutoCAD to open the file or Windows Explorer?
