You can open more than one drawing at a time with the Open File dialog box. Simply hold down SHIFT (to select a range of files) or CTRL (to select multiple individual files) and then click Open. Presto! All the drawings will open. Bonus Tip: This works with xrefs, too. If you have multiple files to attach with the same base point you can use SHIFT/CTRL to select the files, then click Open.

About the blog
Welcome to Kate's CAD Tips!
I've been sending these tips out to my office once a week for about three years now, and decided to start the blog as a way to put them all in one place. Who knows, maybe they'll help somebody else out there too!
Some of the tips are pretty basic, but hey, we all had to start somewhere.
Most of the tips apply to AutoCAD 2004 & up -- I'll try to note if it's only available in later versions, but no promises. And ALL the tips apply to AutoCAD LT.
As always, if you have a tip you'd like to see featured, send it on in!

Press Ctrl+A to select all files in the directory.
When using publish and adding files, it works well. A tip though, select the files in reverse order that you want them to publish (important in publishing dwfs) and they will come into the list in the correct order.
