Understanding the Drawing Name in AutoCAD

To manage your projects effectively in AutoCAD, knowing how to display your drawing name is essential. This ensures that you can easily identify which drawing is currently active during your work sessions.

Showing the Drawing Name

1. Access the Command Line: Launch AutoCAD and open your drawing. You’ll be working primarily from the command line interface.

2. Enter the TASKBAR Command: Type TASKBAR into the command line and press Enter. This command adjusts how your drawings are displayed in the taskbar.

3. Set Taskbar Value: You need to modify the value displayed:

   • To show individual drawing names for all open files, type 1 and press Enter.
   • To limit the display to the current drawing only, type 0 and hit Enter.
4. Verify Changes: Check your taskbar. If set to 1, you should now see separate entries for each open drawing. This makes it easier to switch between drawings without confusion.

Alternative Viewing of Drawing Names

Another method to check your drawing name is by looking at the title bar of the AutoCAD window. Follow these steps:

1. Look at the Title Bar: Located at the top of the AutoCAD window, the title bar displays the name of the drawing currently in use, along with the AutoCAD version.

2. Using the Application Menu: You can also check your drawing name by clicking on the “Application Menu” (the big ‘A’ button). The drawing name is usually listed at the top of this menu.

Renaming Drawings

At times, you may need to modify a drawing’s name. Here’s how to do that:

1. Close the Drawing: Ensure that the drawing you wish to rename is not currently open.

2. Locate the File: Navigate to the location on your computer or server where the drawing file (.dwg) is stored.

3. Rename the File:

   • Right-click on the file.
   • Select the “Rename” option.
   • Enter the new name you wish to give the drawing and press Enter to confirm.
4. Reopen AutoCAD: Launch AutoCAD again and open the renamed drawing file to ensure that the changes have taken effect.
