Hi,
 
Im not sure if anyone can help me, but i cant get dwg files associated to autocad2008. If i double click on a dwg file autocad 2006 opens up instead of 2008. I cant delete autocad2006 from my computer cause it is at my work. I have already tried at folderoptions, and file types to open a dwg with autocad2006 but it wont do the trick.
 
Does anyone else had this problem and do you know how to get rid of it?
 
Thanks in advance

Windows automatically associates .dwg files with the last version to open a drawing. Open AutoCAD 2008 first, then use the open command to access the drawing. Once you do that, all .dwg files should open in 2008.
