Prompted to Open the "Install" Drawing on Every Drawing

Why does Design Master ask me to open the Install drawing very time I open a drawing?

Cause

You have accidentally set one of the installation VLX or DES files to load each time you run AutoCAD or BricsCAD.

Solution

To fix this problem in AutoCAD:

  1. Type APPLOAD at the command line.
  2. Press the  button in the Startup Suite area of the Load/Unload Applications dialog box.
  3. Remove any files from the list related to Design Master. For Design Master Photometrics, it is typically photo-loadInAutoCAD.vlx.

To fix this problem in BricsCAD:

  1. Type APPLOAD at the command line.
  2. In the Load Application Files dialog box, look for photo-loadInAutoCAD.des.
  3. Uncheck the ☐ AutoLoad setting.
