    "Multiple drawings can be opened within the same session of AutoCAD" autocad
    help file said,now I create scenario , in the same session of AutoCAD there
    're 2 drawings,example drawing1.dwg and drawing2 .dwg.
    1.in drawing1.dwg I put a text as "Adesu",text location free
    2.in drawing2.dwg I put a text as "Ade",text location free too
    Then my question is how to change over between 2 text ,from drawing1.dwg to
    drawing2.dwg?

    I find it's easier to set the SDI sysvar to 1 and the LISPINIT variable to 0. This will activate Single Drawing Interface and also allow your lisp routine to function across multiple drawings. Then you can open the drawings one at a time and not have to worry about actively switching between them.
    An easy to move entities between two drawings is to use the COPYBASE and PASTECLIP commands within a lisp function, which use the Windows clipboard.
