You can make this the default for AutoCAD under TOOLS -OPTIONS -OPEN AND SAVE...

I think graphisoft guys should do as some years ago when they hanged on the web the ad on with the latest version of autocad I/0 for dwg and dxf. those are small files that just need update, they don't have to work on the Whole program for that. <BR /> <BR /> So there´s a better item for the whishlist, keep updated via web that small item please!!!!! <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_idea.gif" style="display : inline;" /> Fri, 13 Aug 2004 16:36:28 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/AutoCad-2004/m-p/77804#M7619 Anonymous 2004-08-13T16:36:28Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/AutoCad-2004/m-p/77805#M7620 <BLOCKQUOTE>juan wrote:<BR />So there´s a better item for the whishlist, keep updated via web that small item please!!!!! <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_idea.gif" style="display : inline;" /></BLOCKQUOTE> The item is bigger than you might think ...<BR /> <BR /> It is a "small" matter of Autodesk not documentig the DWG format publicly. So, OpenDWG Alliance and others who understand what collaboration means are providing the tools for reading the "industry standard". Therefore, there is some time needed to produce the readers ...

One tends to think it's only a matter of developing it not that it depends on those people of autodesk.<BR /> <BR /> You've cleared my doubts.
