    Default Opening a drawing

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Usually when I open a drawing I go to File, Open. For whatever reason everytime I go to open a File now it asks me in the command box to enter the drawing name etc. to open a file. how can I stop that?

    The system variable FILEDIA

    set to 1 for dialog box

    Type:IntegerSaved in:RegistryInitial value:1
    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.
    So many commands, so little time....
