To Open Drawings

Use one of the following methods to open a drawing or sheet set.

• Click File > Open to display a selection dialog box.
• Right-click the file tab and click Open to display a selection dialog box.
• On the Welcome Screen, click Open Files or Project.
• Double-click a drawing in Finder to open the drawing. If the program is already running, the drawing opens in the current session rather than in a second session.
• Drag a drawing from Finder into the product.
  If you drop a drawing anywhere outside the drawing area—for example, the command line or the blank space next to the toolbars— the drawing is opened.

  Note: If you drag a single drawing into the drawing area of an open drawing, the new drawing is not opened but inserted as a block reference.
• Use the Project Manager to locate and open the drawings in a sheet set.
