airforceguardian Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 We use Autodesk Map 3D 2005 to draw land survey plats. This morning, one of our techs tried to save a drawing using the 'SAVE AS' button on his toolbar. Normally, the COMMAND line would give him an option what to name and where to save the file. We've never seen the following appear: "Enter file format [2000 (LT 2000)/ 2004/Standards/DXF/Template] : Any information would be appriciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airforceguardian Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 We tried typing FILEDIA in the command line. We were told 'invalid option' How do we access the 'FILEDIA' system variable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I was suspecting that the variable isn't available in MAP - but according to this article it is. Can you check it in help please? Regards, Mircea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforceguardian Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Okay we looked in HELP and got nowhere. I'm not sure that our original IT staff ever loaded the HELP files when the software was initially installed. How can I access the FILEDIA command?

SLW210 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Do you have Express tools? If so go to Express Tools>Tools>System Variable Editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We tried typing FILEDIA in the command line. We were told 'invalid option' How do we access the 'FILEDIA' system variable? Press ESC twice to clear the command line, until all you see is Command: Now type in FILEDIA, then type in 1. Now try your SaveAs command again. I was suspecting that the variable isn't available in MAP It is. I think the OP was trying to type in FILEDIA as a response to the SaveAs prompt.
