SW and AutoCAD together - (im)possible?
SW and AutoCAD together - (im)possible?
(OP)
The problem is, that I installed first AutoCAD 2004 and then SW. Now, if I try to open AutoCAD, it first trys to open SW Edrawings (!), and then tells me about error!? What can I do about it?






RE: SW and AutoCAD together - (im)possible?
I don't know if this is the same for all windows versions, but try run Explorer, select Tools, Folder Options, File Type tab, select DWG file type in the list and select Autocad as the program to run it.
Now Windows assigns Autocad to files with DWG extension.
Funny that I never heard of such problem, as I know some installations like yours!
Good Luck

Question: How can I turn off eDrawings in AutoCAD without uninstalling eDrawings?
Answer: The eDrawings loads in as an add-in under the Tools, Load Application menu. In AutoCAD, look under the Tools, Load Application and remove the 'eDrawing' reference from the list. If the eDrawing menu item still shows up in AutoCAD, this can be removed by going to the Autocad_install\Support folder and manually deleting all of the "EDW" files there (such as edw.mnc, edw.mnl, edw.mns etc). Keep in mind if you delete these files, you will have to re-install eDrawings to get it to work again.
