Open DWG files with Legacy Drawing?

[tlehnhaeuser]

Can someone tell me how to open .DWG files using the legacy drawing in IronCAD? When I try to do it it defaults to CAXADraft to open them.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

Tom,

 

Oops, Sorry I'm talking about .ICD here:

 

Are you talking about making a new drawing? on v12 I had to go to the menu File>New and select the type of file from there otherwise if I selected File>New Drawing (directly) think I had that problem and would get the CAXA default for some reason.

 

Seems to be better on v12 PU1 and now I get a blank sheet when I select "New Drawing" but at least it's not defaulting to CAXA like before. It would be nice to have a choice for drawings when you select "New Drawing". But right now I get a blank drawing and I don't know if there's a way to change that.

 

If you're just trying to open drawings it doesn't look like it matters what type it is when I open them so I don't understand that one.

When you select the DWG file, an "Open Option" button should appear that allows you to select whether "Drawing" or "CAXA Draft" opens the DWG file.
