The ability to access more than one open drawing file from the Windows Taskbar

[cwmyers]

This is a simple question, please forgive me if it has been asked already. I was just (forcibly) upgraded to a new PC and to version 2008 without a chance to migrate my settings, and the only thing I can't seem to set is this. In Ver 2007, if I had 2 or more drawings open at the same time, each had their own window that I could access from the Start Menu bar at the bottom of the page. In Ver 2008, I can't seem to get this to happen. If I want 2 drawings open, I have to minimize one to see the other. Anyone have any idea how to change this?

Hi,

I think you are looking for the TASKBAR command. Try setting it to 1.

As per the above person with the same problem, I've tried the TASKBAR command set it to 1 and 0 and it still opens up multiple drawings in separate windows. Any clues???

Hi, and welcome to AUGI!

How are you opening your drawings? Through double clicking in MS Explorer, or through the File/Open interface?

If the prior, THIS THREAD and related links may help.

This actually a completely different question from the original (but,curiously, this is the 4th time it's been asked this week)
