How to control wich ACAD opens dwg. files

[Butch]

Well, the title says it all.

Is it possible to define wich version of the ACAD will open an .dwg file when doubleclicking on it?

I have two versions 2014 and 2016 and it seems that 2014 is set as default.

Can I change this to 2016?

A job for Windows Settings.

 

Go to  "Choose default apps by filetype" and associate .DWG, DXF etc.  with the ACAD2016 executable.

Or just right click a drawing and go to "Open With" then select "Choose default Program" select the desired default program.

 

I just drag the file onto the desktop icon of my choice if not opening through the program.
