Design Review Won't Open Files

I have installed Design Review on my computer (Build Version (14.0.3.195) along with DWG Trueview 2022. When I try to open a DWG file nothing happens. Is there something else I need to do?

Design Review is the editor/viewer of DWF files.

Use DWG Trueview to open/view DWG files.

 

Yes, I know that Design Review has a feature to view DWG files, and it claims it can do it, but what it is actually doing is opening the DWG in the background and printing the drawing to DWF, and then opening that DWF in Design Review. That only works IF all of the printing parameters are pre-setup, and correct.

 

Just use DWG Trueview to open the DWG file and you'll be fine.

I wanted to make use of the measuring and markup features in Design Review that are not available in Viewer.

Just a thought. Have you tried to roll back to an older Build version of ADR 2018?
