Under Drawing Files, you can also drop them onto the Title Bar in order to open them.

That is, presuming the title bar is not completley cluttered up with the QAT, the Infobar, and other UI elements.

I was told to always drop a drawing file (.dwg) onto the commandline to open it.

So many ways!

I wish dropping an DWG into an existing drawing would give you the option to bring it in as a block or as an XREF.

@Anonymous - use the right mouse button to drag+drop and you will get your choices.

Well, CTRL helps to OPEN a document by dragging it.

No need to target any special location !
