drawing sequence

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:33:33 GMT

Hello,

Let's say i open 6 drawings.

Im in my main drawing.

Now i go to an other drawing and copy something to put in my main drawing.

I close the other drawing but instead that i come in my main drawing (the one i was in before i copied)

i go automaticly to the next drawing. I don't want this.

Can i alter this?

gr. John V.

No, but there are several ways to shoose the drawing that you want.

@Anonymous Hold your mouse over AutoCAD icon and it will preview all your projects. Same with Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac OSX. Applies to AutoCAD 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab will toggle through open drawings as well.

I also setup some LISP shortcuts for the SYSWINDOWS command that lets you cascade or tile open windows within the program window.
(defun c:WC ()(command "SYSWINDOWS" "c")(princ))
(defun c:WH ()(command "SYSWINDOWS" "h")(princ))
(defun c:WV ()(command "SYSWINDOWS" "v")(princ))

So there is no way to chance it

without doing some extra things.

I wanna thank you for all your answers.
