Fallguy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 When I minimize a drawing it turns the drawing into a small rectangle at the bottom as it should for each drawing. Problem is hard when I have multiple drawings minimized and I want to go back to a specific one it is a pain in the !@#~!@% as I can not tell them apart and then have to enlarge one at a time etc as the names are all cut off greatly in the minimization icon. Acad chops the name off after approx three characters ( ie C:\9... ) is what I get to see upon minimzation. Any way to make the full name appear even when reduced. P.S. my names are not crazy long, Thanks, acadoct.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodz0321 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 do you have a "window" menu at the top? if so you can see which drawings you have opened and just click the one you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallguy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Have added attachment of what my screen is. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhattan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 as hotrod said the window menu will list your drawings by just their name instead of the whole path. if you really wanted to have panels open for each of your drawings you could 'restore down' and shrink the windows. this would provide more space to display the whole path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallguy Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks, All. Not sure what a "window menu at the top" is as I see nothing listing my drawings anywhere other than their shurnk down icons. Let me know, thanks for the resonce. Smorales02, Downloaded the program.

Fallguy Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for taking the time to attach. Never really had to use the window tab, will work great from this location as well. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallguy Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 http://www.caelink.com/drawing_tabs.htm Bump, Props on this. It does take up a line at the bottom of your screen but it stacks your open drawings well and you can see the titles on the fly. Thanks again to the poster that original posted this (smorales) cadbar1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again to the poster that original posted this (smorales) Right click on the Tabs bar to provide more options. This way you can move it to the top, etc.... just a bit better for customization on your part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
