Mathcad Embed. 'AutoCAD' object is being opened in 'TrueView'? Help?

I have some coworkers who are unable to open an autocad object in Mathcad; we typically copy and paste autocad drawings into the mathcad file itself (Mathcad 15); but when one goes to open/edit the drawing, mathcad treats it as a 'readonly' trueview file.

Is there a way to force Mathcad to open objects w/ autocad?

Thank you

You may need to change the file association for DXF and DWG format with Autocad (but not with TrueView application).

Alas, no.

I have trueview as my default application; mathcad does not reconigze it as the application to open the embedded object drawings with.

My coworker tried to change the default application; but windows refuses to change the default application from DWG_Laucher to AutoCAD.

I had this problem with Mathcad 15 and never found a solution. I've now made the jump to Mathcad Prime 6 and was managing fine until I installed TrueView on my machine to convert Autocad revisions. Now I'm a few years down the line, back in the same position. Disappointing PTC.

Has anyone experienced this problem of late and found a solution?
