Disable eDrawings PDMworks
Disable eDrawings PDMworks
(OP)
I just installed SW 2006. I already had Acad 2000 on the computer. Now, every time I bring up an existing Acad drawing, eDrawings PDMworks automatically comes up. I would like to have eDrawings PDMworks available to use, but I do not want it to come up automatically every time I open an Acad drawing. How can I do this?

In WinExp, right-click on the file, open with AutoCAD, select box "Always open selected file with program...".

It does behave as I described. I did what you suggested, but the same thing keeps happening.
When SW installs, it adds a lot of menu and arx stuff to various Acad subdirectories, but I don't know exactly what it adds or how it works.
In older versions of SW, I just put the offending files in an out-of-the-way place and the problem was fixed. Not this time.

Sw sometimes has a tendency to change AutoCAD files to be opened by default with eDrawings or DWG editor. If you goto my computer>tools>folder options>file types, you can reassociated dwg files with the AutoCAD application.
Hope this helps.
