AutoCAD Raster Design icon starting unexpected product

Issue

When you started AutoCAD Raster Design by clicking on the AutoCAD Raster Design icon, the last used AutoCAD-based product was started instead of the expected product.

 

For example, if the last used AutoCAD-based product was AutoCAD Architecture, when you started Raster Design by clicking on the Raster Design icon, AutoCAD Architecture was started, with the Raster Design plugin loaded.

Solution

AutoCAD Raster Design is a plugin based application and will always start with the last used host product.

 

In order to use AutoCAD Raster Design with a specific host product, you should first start the desired product, and then load the Raster Design plugin manually.

 

For example, to start Raster Design with AutoCAD, you can do the following:


  1. Start AutoCAD using the AutoCAD shortcut
  2. At the command prompt in AutoCAD, type iinsert (or any other Raster Design command) and press ENTER
