Saving and opening a drawing

Hi everyone,

 

I am not sure what happened, but I think one of my settings was changed. Whenever I go to save a drawing or open a new one from AutoCad, a command box shows up asking me to manually type in the file name and file path of the drawing I would like to open or save. Before I could do it as most programs do (Microsoft word, excel, etc.) where I can browse for the file via folders. Has this happened to any of you before and what do I need to do to get it back to normal? Thanks!

Frequently, this is caused by canceling out of a lisp routine that turns FILEDIA off, and doesn't have adequate error handling to turn it back on if the lisp doesn't complete.

The next time it happens you can type ~ enter and the dialog will show. That way you don't have to stop your work flow to adjust filedia. Later you will still have to change filedia to 1, the ~ is just a one time thing to keep you moving.
