Open multiple files.

Nayara Ferreira's Photo Nayara Ferreira 30 May 2014

Really can not open multiple files at once?

I can only select from the list to open.

Hello Nayara,

This option is not supported via the Open dialog.
You can open multiple file at onse in another way: select several files in the folder, right click - Open.

hi i have a similar problem.

First i double-click "file-A.dwg" and NanoCAD open and load the file.
Then i double-click "file-B.dwg" and NanoCAD open in a additional window.
now i have two (2) NanoCAD-Applications open.

I need every file in the same NanoCAD. Is this a bug or a feature?
I use nanoCAD en 5.0 on Windows 7 x64.

Use Open command in nanoCAD several times to open several files in additional window

Thanks for your answer.

Yes thats clear for me to use the open command.
But in other application it is standard that every doubleclicked file will open in additional window in the one application that is started.

Is there no reg-key to change or a system-variable?

I wrote me my own startfile.
All dwg-files will associate to "my startfile".
Inside my Startfile i check if nanocad is already open and use the parameter(filepath).
If not allready open then open it with the parameter of the selected file.
If allready open then use command open and the file-path of my parameter.

Thanks for NanoCAD and the API.

Hello, Pape.

I have the same problem with Nanocad.
In my opinion this is a very sh***y bug!

My problem is that I have absolutely no idea how to write such a startup file.
It would be nice if you could share this file with me and all other Nanocad users without scripting capabilities. ;-)
Or a how-to tutorial would be great too.

Thanks a lot!

Hello.

I had the same problem and found a solution:
In another topic Yannis descriped a solution through windows registry:
https://forum.nanoca...default-saving/
After doing that I right clicked on a .dxf file -> Properties -> General -> Opens with -> Change... nanoCAD 5.0

(After working on Registry I got "nanoCAD 5.0" option instead of "nanoCAD."

I hope this helps.
