Have mutiple drawings open and have them in tabs?

[Effigy]

I use this one as well and have also installed it on just about every CAD machine here. It works great and it's free!

 

 

crisp, clear, simple to use.

to be fair, they are very very similar to use

Hi All

Can somebody tell me how to load it, I can't seem to get it to work.

I have a template that I want to load it into so it's there everytime

I fire up. It would come in handy as I often have 6 drawings open at once. Cheers Dodge

Ctrl+tab flicks through the open drawings, I know not tabs , but it is a quick alternative.

cheers paul

yep i have.

 

download the attachment, unzip it to a folder on your local machine (somewhere useful, like where you keep your customisations).

then type APPLOAD in command line of AutoCAD, and place this file in the Contents of Startup Suite.

 

I Did this and its worked great. but when i reopened autocad it says that it is able to load and that message keeps coming up now everytime that i open autocad. what am i doing wrong? How do i get rid of that message?

when you open the drawing, on the box that appears there is a portion of the box where it says "Always ask before opening projects with macros".

if you wish to get rid of this message box, ensure the text above has no tick next to it.

woops sorry i meant "unable to load". to get the tabs to work i have to reload them every time i open cad and i cant get rid of the popup at the start.

You're working back a bit late, Pauly......

I am using one of the free DWGman from CAE Link, but before I have tried the tril version of CADWERX DocBar and I have to admitt that it was a little bit better and with some usefull option.

But as these free apps do the job no need to disturb my creditcard

[Guest Alan Cullen]

I'm giving this thread a bump.

 

I've just switched over to 2008 this morning, and I grabbed and installed the Caelink drawing manager. But I can't get it to work. I tried to load it using APPLOAD, but it just says "Unable to load cl-DwgMan_07.arx"

 

Any help gratefully accepted. Thanks.

Alan, just drag and drop the arx file into an open dwg in autocad. That's all you have to do.

[Guest Alan Cullen]

That was quick, Sean.

 

Unfortunately I got the following error when I tried that: "; error: ARXLOAD failed"

Alan, try using the link I posted way back on Page 1 of this thread.

I have it installed and functioning fine on my 2008 system.

[Guest Alan Cullen]

Thanks, Blue. That was my next step tomorrow.

[Guest Alan Cullen]

Thanks, Blue, it's now up and running, and I am v happy now.

[NBC]

Glad it works for you Alan

CAELink have updated their drawing tab software to work with AutoCAD v2008. It is running here just fine

 

Thanks to Gar for pointing this out to me

As mentioned in post #51 above:

I'm not sure if it will work in Civil 3D 2017 though. This thread is 10 years old.
