SanMiguel Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 We've just migrated from Autocad Map 2013(I know its long overdue) but I am having a problem with the workspace. Every time I open up ACad it reverts back to Drafting & Annotation workspace. I already save my toolbars in a different workplace name plus I also save it as a current Profile in the Options menu. But for some reason once I closed and opened ACad back it return back to its default Drafting & Annotation workspace. Am I missing something, I already did WSSAVE & pick Automatically save workspace changes in the workspace settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Did you define your HOME workspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 how do i do that??? EDIT. i already did assign my Home workspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Force a save of your workspace "save current as" then make sure "do not save changes" is turned on, having "Automatically save" can do funny stuff like ignore the changes you just made.

Dana W Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 You have to move the desired workspace to the top of the list of workspaces, so it will be the "default". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 You have to move the desired workspace to the top of the list of workspaces, so it will be the "default". i did put it on top and set it as my home workspace but guess what? everytime i have open Acad2013 it goes back again to its default workspace .....arggghhhhhh!!!

ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's reverting to the default because you probably did not save it and changing the order under Workspace Settings has nothing to do with it. On my computer My Workspace = Drafting & Annotation yet I am actually in my own custom 3D workspace saved under my first name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 No, I mean save it under a different name like I did. Example: ReMark's 3D Modeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 No, I mean save it under a different name like I did. Example: ReMark's 3D Modeling. I did that, I have Classic setting, arrange my toolbars, I even save it in a different profile name but it goes back to the drafting & anno workspace every time i open up autocad...???

ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It almost sounds as though you are making the changes and instead of clicking on "Save Current As...." you are going to Options > Profiles and trying to save it there. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I did both of them, Save a different name in My Workspace & created my own Profile Name in the Options Menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Forget the Profile. Did you, or did you not use the SAVE CURRENT AS.... option? I tested the method...it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Forget the Profile. Did you, or did you not use the SAVE CURRENT AS.... option? I tested the method...it works. After reading this I did the SAVE CURRENT AS(made another Workspace name)....close Autocad open it then boom!!! back to Drafting & Annotation again.....whats going on???

ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with your insistent on using a "Classic" type workspace or maybe it has something to do with this.... http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Toolbar-settings-saved-in-workspace-are-ignored-when-AutoCAD-is-restarted.html All I know is I could create and save a dozen different workspaces in a matter of a few minutes and whatever one I set last will be the one I see the next time I open AutoCAD. You could try the manual method of saving your workspace. Type -WSSAVE at the command line and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMiguel Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 OK After searching.....I tired changing the target path & inserted the /w"workspae" thing but no luck... Then I went on with this: http://blog.advancedsolutions.com/2013/09/13/autocad-classic-workspace-in-autocad-architecture Open the CUI right click my custom workspace name then set to default.... Boom!!! It work!!! Thanks a bunch for the replies guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Glad to hear you finally found a solution that worked. Thank you for updating us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 ... and changing the order under Workspace Settings has nothing to do with it. You are probably right about this. Except, on day one of creating my workspace, I could not get AutoCad to default to opening in My Workspace until I moved it to the top of that little list. Then, thereafter it opens in My workspace, EVEN if I move it to the bottom of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am just remembering a coincidence between moving to the top of the list and setting as current, or some other completely incomprehensible combination of AutoCad options.
