I use both SolidWorks and AutoCad.  Whenever I open an AutoCad drawing, Solidworks Xchangeworks comes up.  How can I keep this from happening?

RE: Disable Xchangeworks

Uninstall SolidWorks then reinstall selecting no when it prompts you to install Exchangeworks.

You can also remove (or move to unpathed AutoCAD folder) all of the swfileconv files in the AutoCAD directory. The menu files in the search paths get loaded when you start AutoCAD, so moving them should fix the problem.
