How to Prevent blank Drawing1 from opening when starting AuoCAD by picking a dwg

How do I prevent a blank Drawing1 from opening when starting AutoCAD 2014 by double picking a drawing from Windows Explorer?  I only want the drawing I'm picking to open with AutoCAD (no additional blank drawing should open).  This problem seems to have started after I installed and subsequently installed another demo software program that came bundled with an earlier version of the AutoCAD engine.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Try setting STARTUP to 0

Startup was already set to 0.  Any other suggestions?

Hi @jmiller_pes,

 

This thread was just auto-escalated and came to my attention. Has your issue been resolved or do you still need assistance?

 

I am guessing an uninstall and a re-install might fix this issue.

Hi Volker,

Thanks for the info. When I set the Startup variable = 1, and try to open a drawing by double clicking a file via Windows Explorer, the “Open a drawing” dialogue box appears and I have to click on “OK” to continue. The good news is a new drawing (drawing1.dwg) was not opened.

Why is the “Open a drawing” dialogue box appearing when I’ve already selected the file to open? I shouldn’t be hassled with this dialogue box each time I open an existing file by double clicking it.

How can I suppress this dialogue box from opening?

Looking forward to your help.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Thank you for contacting us. This can be achieved by setting the STARTUP (System Variable) to a value of <1>.

Hi @jmiller_pes,

 

I know I am dropping in late, but see a couple people have posted asking the same, so I wanted to share the AutoCAD Help file for this that explains the various settings:
