What it does
Express Document Tab adds tabs for switching between open DWG drawings in AutoCAD. It provides commands for saving, closing, sorting, finding, favoriting, and opening drawings or folders. The utility can run scripts across open drawings or batch scripts without opening each drawing directly in AutoCAD. It also supports drawing comparison, tiled views, combining selected drawings as Xrefs, and AutoCAD controls for closing drawings.
