I can't open two drawings in the same BricsCAD session.

Hello, when I have a drawing open and I want to open another one by
double-clicking it in the explorer, the second drawing doesn't open in
the same session of BricsCAD; it opens a new instance of BricsCAD. Why
could this be happening?

    Hello.

    Something that might be useful would be to check the setting of the SDI system variable.
    See the next article.
    https://help.bricsys.com/en-us/document/system-variable-reference/s/sdi-system-variable?version=V24&id=16507926751165

    To double-click on multiple drawings and open them in the same Bricscad instance, SDI should be set to 0.

    I have the sdi variable set to 0, but it still opens the
    drawings separately. Sometimes it does open them in the same Bricscad.
    Another issue I'm having is that the Start tab doesn't appear; I have to
    bring it up with Ctrl+Home. Also, when I open the publish, it doesn't
    let me drag files to load them directly into the print queue.

    Is the SingletonMode variable off? It's supposed to be off by default, but maybe something turned it on. You might have to close Bricscad after turning it off in order for it to take effect.

    ok, now it seems to work.

    Thank you all.
