    Evidently it's not uncommon for AutoCAD to create conflicts.   See link below.

    I'm guessing AutoCAD added or changed a system file that DW needs.  A clean re-install may be necessary. See link below.

    The problem, at least for me, was a file extension used by both programs: DWT or template files, and I do use templates in both programs.

    Change DWT the file association from Autocad to Dreamweaver. 

    Go to START, APPS, DEFAULT APPS, APPS BY FILE TYPE... and change the association of the DWT files.

    Autocad still opens the default template and Dreamweaver

    Hi,

    There is no reason, the 2 softs don't make the same thing, I install Autocar to test it, years ago and don't have this problem, after the test I uninstall it because it don't make what I want
