close command

[ScottSwens]

When I try to hit the close command, I get the following message in the command line.

'close Command CLOSE is not available under SDI mode'

I cannot even close with the x in the corner. I have to exit out of AutoCad and restart.

Hi,
Set SDI system variable value to 0

Enter new value for SDI <1>: 0

That worked. Thank you.

Just curious, what is SDI system variable?

[Sridhar-Autodesk]

SDI stands for Single Document Interface. If the value is set to 1, only one drawing can be opened at a time. If 0, then it is multiple document interface.

ok, thanks for your help.
