Opening dwg file in File Manager launches AutoCAD but opens "Start" tab.

Anonymous — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 07:54:55 GMT

When I open a dwg file in my computer from File Manager, it launches AutoCAD 2019, but opens only "Start" tab. I have to go back to my File Manager double-click on the file AGAIN in order to open it. This problem occurs only when I use AutoCAD for the first time after booting my computer.

Hi,

please make sure you have installed AutoCAD 2019.1.2 (Update 1.2).
Also verify that in Windows Explorer the dwg-extension is assigned to "AutoCAD DWG Launcher" (and not to "acad.exe") as described >>>here<<<.
