AutoCAD 2008 LT opens new session for every file...read further before you hate me

[stockers]

Hi,

Sorry for asking this as I am sure it has been asked before, I just can't find it.

 

I'm NOT having a problem with the taskbar command I understand the difference.....

 

My problem is I want to open multiple drawings in one AutoCAD session. Every time I open a drawing it starts a new session......Also SDI is set to '0' is that right?

 

Please Please help it is really slowing me down!

Hi,

I feel I may have been a little harsh in my title for this post....Well not to worry, I have cracked it.

I will put my solution here in case anyone else searches and finds it.

 

I changed my 'open with' settings in windows explorer to AutoCAD DWG Launcher. I previously had this set to AutoCAD LT Application.

 

-Obvious really!
