tjb0012 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Change the FILEDIA variable to "1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 At the command line type FILEDIA, hit enter, type 1, hit enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb0012 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Ok thanks! I'll give it a try. Did this just happen on its own or is it a result of me doing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
