I often have 2 or 3 instances running but they aren't always all active and it saves time over launching new instances. I currently make do with drag &amp; drop to open projects, but sometimes forget and have to through the whole launch sequence...<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Ling.</T></DIV> Thu, 25 May 2023 15:54:32 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Launch-in-Inactive-Instance/m-p/277205#M143820 Lingwisyer 2023-05-25T15:54:32Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Launch-in-Inactive-Instance/m-p/277206#M143821 As far as I know drag and drop to an open but empty Archicad is the only way.<BR /> Otherwise if the file is in the 'recent files' list you can open it from within the running Archicad.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
