I would imagine that there are different ways that people go between open drawings. Just in case people don’t know all their options, here they are:
- One way is to up to the Window pull-down and select the drawing they want to open. I use this mostly when I have a bazillion drawings open……Yes, I know.
- You can minimize each drawing and hopefully select the right one you are looking for….probably the hardest way to switch between drawings.
- Another way to switch between drawings is to go to the Windows pull-down and Choose Cascade or Tile. I’m not sure when you would want to Cascade, but Tiling can sometimes be beneficial if you only have 2 drawings open only and you need to do some copy and pasting or some comparison work.
- Also, there is a system variable that you can type in at your command line called TASKBAR. Set that to 1 and it will place all your open drawings on your windows taskbar. It isn’t opening additional versions of autocad, but placing an icon there.
- My favorite way, personally, is to hold down CTRL key and press the TAB key to cycle forward through your drawings. You can also hold down CTRL + SHIFT key at the same time then press the TAB key and it will cycle backwards through the drawings.
