germinator Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 hello something's changed in my autocad 2012 setup and I'm being asked to provide full written addesses within the system for files I want to "save as" under a different name, or insert as raster images for example. the moment I click on "save as" an on screen request pops up, like the one you see in the picture (my autocad is in french), asking me to provide the full path to where the file should be saved, instead of a window where I can browse. this is slowing me down massively and I have tried every possible set up change. can anybody help? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 What is your default File Type for SAVEAS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Have you checked the PROFILE which is currently active in OPTIONS? I've never seen that before, might it be a WINDOWS folder option which has been changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Is the system variable FILEDIA set to a value of "1"? This can be checked at the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It may have been changed when you used a custom lisp routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It may have been changed when you used a custom lisp routine. Not necessarily, some AutoCAD commands and several Express tools may also do this, when you cancel in the middle of a command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
