Hi guys, new poster here. I asked a question in the AutoCAD 2011 part of this forum and was told to replicate my question in here. Here it is (thanks in advance):
Hi sorry if it's been asked before, silly question, etc.
Everytime I pin AutoCAD 2011 to my taskbar (using 64-bit, Windows 7), close the program then try to re-open, it opens as AutoCAD Mechanical 2011, not AutoCAD 2011. But a saved shortcut of AutoCAD 2011 on my desktop will open as AutoCAD 2011 and not the Mechanical version. I don't want to use the Mechanical version, just the normal AutoCAD. How can I pin this to the taskbar?
Have you tried going to Start --> Program Files to find the NillaCAD and then pin that?
Yep I've tried pinning from the start menu (won't let me pin AutoCAD 2011 from there but will let me pin AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 from there), tried pinning from Program Files but it will open as Mechanical..
I had the same problem. If you go to the "Program Files" folder on your computer and follow it until you get to AutoCAD 2011 folder and you find the "acad" application icon. Right click and it will have the pin to start menu option. This one should open AutoCAD 2011 and not another version. Mine was opening Civil 3D but now opens properly.
