Hello ... I am an AutoCAD 2019 LT user.
I want to work on one file at a time because it is too hard to open and copy each drawings.
And I want to extract several drawings from one file to PDF or CAD file after each work.

please advise me.

Can you explain the problem you are trying to solve in more detail? Take your time, get wordy, provide a lot of details.

TIA

Do you want to show the same model on multiple drawings? If so, try using the layout tabs for your drawing sheets. You could also look at using XREFs to reference a model in multiple drawing files.

hello!!
I want to improve things that are inconvenient to work rather than problems.
I have already worked with one drawing and one file, but it is easy to work with the related drawings.
I want to make it easy to put multiple drawings like a picture in a file and extract each one into a file again.

I received a file that the architect says has several drawings in it.  She says the tabs should show up at the top or bottom of the screen.  My 2020 LT doesn't show but one drawing, how can I get the tabs to show up so I can see all of the drawings in this file?

Which tabs are those, top or bottom tabs? Ask if you are unsure. Or better yet contact the architect and you two chat about it over the phone with both of you having the same drawing name on your respective screens. Bet it will be a short call.

Try it.

The architect has a full blown version of AC, I have LT so she has no clue how to help.  The file she sent me has multiple drawings but when I open it only one drawing appears and I can't get to the others.  HELP!

The interface on both programs is identical: and your dilemma remains unclear.
Ask the Architect to send you a screenshot of what they are talking about then share your DWG file with us here if you are unable to confirm you are missing these.

thx
