DWGPROPS statistics do not show up in windows 10

[btillett]

When I Right Click on a dwg and select properties there used to be a Statistics tab with last saved by. Now those tabs are missing. Our IT department does not seem to be able to get them back.

The cause is the dwg file type is associated with a version of AutoCAD instead of the AutoCAD DWG Launcher. Associating the file with the Launcher adds the statistics.

To do this type Default Programs at the Windows Start Menu. (attached image)

Then select Choose default apps by file type.

Then select the AutoCAD DWG Launcher as the app to launch DWG files.

HI @btillett,

Thanks for the contribution. Here is an article that gives step-by-step instructions on how to configure the file association.

Thanks for the follow up, but I intended that to be an answer not a question. I had a hard time finding that particular solution, and "CHRISTOPHER F. Certified Autodesk • 503 answers • 100% helpful" provided it to me in a private message that I thought I would share.
