Help with opening models in LDD

[Rangnarok]

Hi, please help move the topic if you think neccessary, but I couldn't find a better sub-forum to post this

I have a problem and have not yet figured out a way to fix. I got Win 7 home premium 64bit. This problem does not occur on my Win XP 32-bit. Run it as admin or not did not help.

Say I have a list of model files on the PC. LDD is not open.

1. I double click on the first file, LDD opens up nicely

2. I double click on the second file, there's an error "Can not access LDD assets. Try reload LDD, reinstall, read instruction or goto xxx(website)"

The problem occurs because when I tried to open the second model file, it tries to run another instance of LDD to view, instead of just opening it in the already open LDD. I know this because, if I manually try to run the LDD.exe file when LDD is already open, it gives me the same error.

I just wonder if any of you here has encountered this and maybe has a fix?

Thank you,

@ Rangnarok: Welcome to Eurobricks! What you want to do is IMPORT the second model into your already-opened LDD program. Just press the File-->Import Model sequence of commands at the top-left corner of the LDD screen.

I'm fairly sure that you can only run one LDD program at a time.

I've not understood if he want the second file opens a second instance of LDD or open the second model in the already running LDD.

Hi, Many thanks for trying to help. What I wanted is that when i double click a file from the File explorer, it will just open in the already-run instance of LDD.

However, it has now worked as I wanted. Don't know what happened for sure, but perhaps LDD needed a computer reboot to be registered properly in the system.

Thank you for offering to help though.
