Launch cad by double click in DWG file

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi all


Someone help, nothing happens when I try launch cad by double click in DWG file, the file is already associated with acad launch. 
But to open a drawing, firstly I have to open autocad, then I open the drawing by autocad, I want to open drawing by the double click in dwg file. Already repared instalation and reinstalation autocad 2016 without sucess.

I think that's important to talk that I had the same problem with acad launch after installation 2016 version, as many people, but now is running because I deleted the 2015 instance on de registry.


Thanks advancedd

Hi,

 

>> is running because I deleted the 2015 instance on de registry

So does that now mean you are already safe and all is working like you want or is there any question open?

Just to make sure: don't kill complete applications in the registry (as files are left then which are not fully usable). To uninstall an application you should use the uninstaller of the application, it's more safe.

 

In case you uninstall older versions of AutoCAD after you installed the new one I would recommend that after uninstalling 2015 run a repair install for 2016. In case of common used files this repairs the constency of release of application, the files and the registry ... all fitting then together.

Dear Mr. NESWADBA

 

Firstly, thanks for your atention!

 

The Autocad works fine, the only thing that not works is the startup of the softaware by double click in DWG file, we don't stay with autocad opened, when needed, we do a double click on file that is wish to open and the autocad software start first. But in one machine we have, the double click results get in nothing, nothing happens on the windows explorer, any software or mensage is shown. I never see this before.

 

I tryed repare autocad 2016, without sucess

I tryed reinstall autocad 2016, without sucess

 

Before I deleted the autocad 2015 registry folder, I make a complete unistall of this old version by AUTODESK UNISTALL TOOL, and reset windows

Poor workflow IMHO on opening dwg files outside of AutoCad.

We've had weird results with file pathing and customizations.

I think that know what you say Blacknblack, we've issue with pathing of the template customized.

When startup autocad 2016, the template must be open by QNEW, yeh he opens, but shown one contraditory mensage superimposed on the new template saying:

Then clicks CLOSE and start work normally, strange.

Hi,

 

I never had any problem with different versions of AutoCAD, different verticals of AutoCAD, all installed parallel (on the same system). Every time I double click onto a DWG in Windows Explorer the version/vertical/profile of AutoCAD starts which I had closed as last one, worked/works everytime, without any issues.

 

But I also have to say that (working on a development system most of the time) I never uninstall old versions, that holds my registry stable.

Looking to the path of the template file: you have spaces, you have special characters like '&' and you have it (seems so) on a network.

Ever tried to avoid each of the points? ...or best all three? What happens if you create a profile that has the templates on your local drive, short name, no special charactes, no spaces, does that work?

 

Problems with lost paths are only common to environments when the network is not stable or is slow in reacting or sometimes on NAS-drives. When AutoCAD starts and does not find a network path (in short time, so server should be quite reactive) it removes this path (to avoid AutoCAD searching everytime in dead ends).

Alfred,

 

unfortunately, little I can do abaut the network.

But, checking the template title, I noted that have an "&" and then I change it to "e", unfortunately the mensage not's gone.

All other machines run normally without any mensage or error, only machine that have autocad 2016 this behaving bad.

Hi DJ,

 

Very thanks for your atention,

 

These procedures already have been done previously.

Without explaination, the double click on file is running normally now, and launch autocad immediatly, since yesterday.

But the mensage "reading file error" that I told, it is still showing up on startup of the autocad. This dwt file, which has the name written in the error message, does not exist in the templates folder, it was deleted, this error is about a ghost file. In "options/files/template settings" the path of the file already have been changed. Already repared instalation and reinstalation autocad 2016 without sucess. IMHO looks like some root correction, but I don't know to do a correction because I don't know where is.

 

can anyone help?

Hi,

 

>> This dwt file, which has the name written in the error message, does not exist in the templates folder, it was deleted

In that case start AutoCAD, run command _OPTIONS and on the tab "Files" go to "Template Settings" ==> "Default Template File Name for QNEW" and change the setting to the file you are using now and that exists.

Hi,

 

in that case I guess you have tools/applications running which modifys this setting during runtime or starttime (like ACAD.LSP or ACADDOC.LSP).

Because this (in options the template for QNEW setting) is the only position where AutoCAD itself stores the template file to be used. If it's not set at this position but coming up with an error message there is some customization done trying to access this special file.

 

BTW: when you create a new file, draw a line, store the file on your local drive, close AutoCAD and double click this new file ... you get the same message as shown before?

This message arise only when I startup autocad, in the mornning, then that he launched for the first time I can open any new file without the message error.

Hi,

 

>> then that he launched for the first time I can open any new file without the message error.

So this error occurs just once after login (and reappears with every login) .... or

the error occurs every time when AutoCAD was closed and a double click of a DWG file has to start AutoCAD?

 

In first case I guess there are server based Windows profiles and every login to the system brings up incorrect registry settings from a (bad) server copy of the profile.

Hi Alfred,
Occurs every time when software AutoCAD was closed and need to start again, by the desktop shortcut autocad or by the DWG file double click.

Hi,

 

the last chance I see is you have a tool which modified some settings looking to this none existing DWT.
