After setting the CRD with the DWG
- Points/Set CooRDinate File
- Points/CooRDinate File Utilities
and after saving the DWG file, closing the file and re-opening the DWG the association with the CRD association is gone.
This has been a minor irritation from day one and I just lived with it.
I'm now trying to figure it out.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
CALL CARLSON - IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT
As a CRD association is made to a drawing, the information would be written to a *.INI file and would contain a line that resembles the following:
Carlson 2010 and later:
PROJECT=$PROJECTPATHMyCRD.crd
Carlson 2009 and earlier:
PROJECT=C:MyProjectPathMyCRD.crd
The name of the INI file would match that of the DWG and needs to be in a location that can be written by the software and operating system.
If you'd care to send me a copy of the DWG, its INI and the CRD along with the software version you are using, I'll be happy to take a look.

I have always had the same problem. It seems to come and go.
Ladd,
I see the C drive reference.
If the files are saved to a network server drive and opened on a work station, would that confuse the DWG / CRD association when opened by another work station?
It could potentially cause a conflict (this is one of the reasons Carlson adopted the approach cited in the 2010 version).
If User "A" is opening and using files on the server and User "B" has files locally and both users are using Carlson 2009 and earlier, drive mapping conflicts will likely result.
If User "B" is sharing his project folder (his local "C:" drive) with User "A" (his network drive), the solution is to have User "B" use the same drive map as User "A".
I know it sounds like a lot of alphabet soup but consistent drive mappings within an organization can save a lot of headaches.
