Managing Multiple drawings in a single session

[jhohman]

Whenever you have multiple drawing open in a session of AutoCAD, you can quickly jump from one drawing to the next by holding the CTRL key and pressing TAB. This will cycle through available windows. Saves a little time from minimizing drawings or accessing them through the Window pull-down.

Please don't take this as stepping on your toes on this good tip for navigating thru opened drawings... I just wanted to add to this.... I used to use this same method but have been using doctabs for a while now, and I love it! It adds another row of tabs for each drawing open. The look just like the layout tabs...

Here is where to get it...

and a screen shot.

Also consider one of the many "Drawing Tabs" apps out there.

Here is a free one as shown below

Ctrl+Tab also works in most Windows software which allow multiple documents to be open.

I use it all the time in Excel and Word, and I also use the feature in Mozilla for switching between tabs.
