GMiller Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 When I click File then Open I get a list of files in the default directory. How can I set the view to a "list" rather than a preview with icons? Every time I go to open a file I have to set it to list or details. Thanks in advance. Quote
Strix Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 does it do it in every program? if so, it's a windows setting rather than AutoCAD Quote
GMiller Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 No. I changed the default windows settings. ACad is the only program that doesn't want to conform. It just gets annoying hitting View/List in order to see the full file names. There has to be a way to set the default to "List" rather than "Preview" Quote
rkmcswain Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 If your profile is correct and you are using version 2000 and your O/S is WinXP or later, then the behavior you are seeing is as designed. http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS70062 Quote
GMiller Posted September 26, 2008 Author Posted September 26, 2008 Thanks for the info. Wonder if they will ever "fix" it. Quote
rkmcswain Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Never. AutoCAD 2000 came out in 1999, a few years before WinXP. They are not going to go back and "fix" applications to work with operating systems that were not even released at the time... Quote
