What is the following dcadwin.ini line for? If it's still in use should it be added to the online list?
Code: Select all[General]
OpenNewer=

Good question, my .ini has it set to True.
Maybe it's there to allow one to open a newer drawing, i.e. ver 18 to open v19?

It was missing from mine, saw it in Art's ini file in another post and didn't recognize it.

When OpenNewer=TRUE (the default), DataCAD will prompt you when you try to open a file that was saved from a newer version of DataCAD, and will give you the option to open the file or cancel.

When OpenNewer=FALSE, DataCAD will prompt you when you try to open a file that was saved from a newer version of DataCAD, but will not give you the option to open the file.
