    Default Open Drawings

    I used to have a little shareware app that gave me a tab at the bottom of the screen for all open drawings.
    I recently had a virus mess that caused us to redo this machine, from scratch, and now I can not remember what that little add on was, and I miss it.

    Does anybody know where I might have found that thing?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    There are several of these programs out there. Only some may apply depending on what version of AutoCAD you are running.

    Thanks for the reminder...I'm going to update this page soon, but the first link is still a good one to try:

    I could be wrong but I am pretty sure there is a system variable that does this and you don't need an addon. I'll look around and see if I can verify and find what that system variable is.

    There is not a system variable to enable tabs within the AutoCAD window. You can show multiple drawings on the Windows taskbar with the TASKBAR system variable.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Yea, that's what I ended up doing. Works just fine.
