deano33 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Another Job so new PC with new clean CAD installation to fix. So new problem: - When I open a drawing I cannot see file name or drawing path anywhere and appear to be stuck in single drawing mode which I don't mind. I just want to see the current file name somewhere within AutoCAD so I don't accidentally modify the wrong version when working on multiple versions. Any ideas on hoe to display the CAD file name at the top of the AutoCAD window. Loosing will to live already so a simple quick answer would be much appreciated.

RobDraw Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) It should be there. The only option I can think of concerning that is whether or not to display the full file path which might make it too long to show the file name. If this is the case, see screen shot below.

CyberAngel Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If you maximize the drawing window, the name of the file should appear in the title bar. Jeepers, I thought SDI went out with Release 14.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano33 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks Rob but already tried disabling display full file path and didn't resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I thought you had a solution or were gone from what you said about needing a quick response. Is AutoCAD maximized? Are your monitor settings adjusted so that some of your screen is beyond the extents of the monitor? Post a screen shot of your AutoCAD.

deano33 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Screen shots attached. Yes its maximised but doesn't appear clipped by screen limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Does that mean you do see it when the window is not maximized? I've seen this recently in the Autodesk forum. I think it has something to do with display scaling for 4K monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It seems there are 2 threads on this. I have answered in the other thread. The OP is running AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 10.https://www.cadtutor.net/forum/topic/68548-file-path-display-in-full-screen-mode/?tab=comments#comment-554516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Put 4K monitors on top of that and you got real trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCS Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I had the same problem and solved it this way: With "Drafting and Annotation" view --> View --> File Tabs (icon is like a folder). It shows the file names now. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
