Open a Drawing-model Pair

When you open a project, you can select the drawing-model pair to be activated first from a button menu. Alternatively, you can define a drawing-model pair to be automatically activated without a need for separate selection, see Automatically Activated Drawing-Model Pair. The drawing file of the drawing-model pair is opened in the drawing window and the model file in the model window. The activate_target keyword in the BDSXX keyword group determines which working window is activated by default.

You can change the active drawing-model pair during working in several different ways.
