 Topic: AutoCad opens new dwg file on every Vault open?
Posted: 05.Jan.2012 at 21:37 |
Sup guys...
So the search function on this site sucks...
This has to be some sort of mundane setting...
Everytime I open a drawing from vault, autocad creates a new, sequential drawing in the background that I must click, NO, dont save, ect ect.
Its just plain annoying.
Any ideas on how to turn that crap off?
thanks in advance!!

Vault client does not open any other drawing (by default). You may be using some add-on tool (LISP, VBA) which perfoms this unwanted additional Open.

Thanks Vlad...
The only other 'add on' that im aware of is 'dwg man', which creates tabs to swith drawings (thanks John C, for that!!)
And it definetly does create sequential, blank dwgs upon vault access...what kind of add on would do this?? is it a matter of simply finding and eliminating it? or changing some sort of setting?

Right-click on the desktop shortcut for opening Vault and check out its Properties. Maybe there is something there that is triggering this unusual behavior.

John,
Tried that, as you said. only the quick access properties for the tool/taskbar come up...nothing about opening a new drawing file...

So I havent found SQUAT...
Anybody got any ideas on how to even say...pull a list of 'add on' tools or 'VBA, LISP' or whatever as Vlad said?
Then I could at least narrow it down to the offending item(s)...
Cause this issue is REALLY annoying...and non-stop
