Opening a Drawing with the
Menu Browser
The Menu Browser offers a quick method for opening drawings. You can even
see a thumbnail preview of the drawings and arrange drawings that you fre-
quently edit so that they are easily accessible. Here’s how:
1. To open a new AutoCAD file from the Menu Browser, click File
New.
This opens the Select Template dialog box, where you select a tem-
plate to base the new drawing on. Opening a file with a template is
covered in Chapter 2.
2. To open an existing file from the Menu Browser, click File
Open.
This opens the Select File dialog box where you can navigate to and
select the desired drawing file.
TIP
You can open new or existing files using the QNew or Open buttons
in the Quick Access toolbar. Existing drawings can also be opened by drag-
ging them from a Windows Explorer window to the AutoCAD title bar.
