chelsea1307 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 when i try to open a dwg instead of the dialog box i get enter name of drawing to open <.> how do i change it to open the dialog box? Quote
MaxwellEdison Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Set FILEDIA to 1. Perhaps the description for this board should be changed to read that. I don't think there is a more common question for ACAD Quote
ReMark Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Dang it Maxwell you're just a tad quicker than I! I do agree with your suggestion wholeheartedly. LOL Quote
ReMark Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Don't forget your AutoCAD Help files. That is the first place one should look when confronted with a problem. FILEDIA Suppresses display of file navigation dialog boxes. 0 - Does not display dialog boxes. You can still request a file dialog box to appear by entering a tilde (~) in response to the command's prompt. The same is true for AutoLISP and ADS functions. 1 - Displays dialog boxes. However, if a script or AutoLISP/ObjectARX™ program is active, an ordinary prompt is displayed. Quote
dbroada Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 and of course, look at the similar threads list at the bottom of this page. Quote
