The person has given me their password and asked me to find all files that they have saved. This path should point to the default application. Hi, I have a computer here that belongs to another person and they have used it to work for years. If necessary, edit the path to the application which is specified for OpenLaunch and PrintLaunch , (Items C and D in image below).Edit the keys OpenDdeSvc and PrintDdeSvc to both have the value of , (Items A and B in image below).HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DwgCommon\shellex\apps\:AutoCAD Press WINDOWS-R on the keyboard to bring up the Run window, enter REGEDIT and click OK.The value will differ depending on the release version of AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, or DWG TrueView. The latest versions of Windows 10 seem to have resolved this problem. Windows 10 files sharing not working may be due to bugs in the update. Then, click 'OK' and reboot the computer. Note that the following example uses AutoCAD 2020. On the pop-up windows, scroll down to find and check the 'SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support' feature. Confirm that DWG files now open in it.Įdit the Windows registry (see warning below). Install the version of DWG TrueView that matches the version of AutoCAD (see Where to download previous versions of DWG TrueView).Note: This solution will work only if DWG files are already set to be opened using the AutoCAD DWG Launcher (see next step).Īssociate DWG files to the AutoCAD DWG Launcher or AutoCAD Application (see DWG file type associativity in Windows).
