doncwe Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm sorry if I'm asking an obvious question, but I can't find the answer. When I start AutoCad it goes to Drawing 1.dwg of which I have close to a blank screen and re-open the file I want to work on. Is it possible to have AC open to the blank screen or the last file I was working on. Either option would be good.

ReMark Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Courtesy of forum member rkent: Change the variable STARTUP to 1. Courtesy of forum member rkmcswain: .... even if you startup AutoCAD and "drawing1.dwg" opens, it will close as soon as you open another drawing, provided DBMOD=0 in "drawing1.dwg".

BIGAL Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This is a work around save the example to notepad and save as cross.bat to a simple location like c:\temp, then just got to CMD lower left and type c:\temp\cross it will start Autocad and open the cross dwg. You must use " if the path or name has spaces in it. You could paste also as a shortcut to the desktop. "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\acad.exe" c:\temp\cross.dwg or if you want to enter dwg name note must be full path eg cross c:\projects\dwg32 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\acad.exe" %1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
