ILoveMadoka Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 When I use the open command in Autocad 2013 the following columns are displayed: Name | Date Modified | Type | Size I would like to add Date Created to this dialog so that it appears each time the command is used. I have added it in Windows Explorer and inside the Autocad dialog itself but when I close and relaunch Autocad the "new" column header is gone again. Is this a customizable option so that it remains? Please advise... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 How are you setting this? I don't seem to have a problem with the column disappearing after closing down AutoCAD then opening it up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Same technique here. I'm using Win 7 x64 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMadoka Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 If (in Autocad) I right click in the dialog and pick Properties, there is nothing in any of the tabs that allows me to add any columns whatsoever.. If I open Windows Explorer in Windows, the column is there. It appears that is not a global setting that Autocad recognizes. I am concerned it has something to do with Group Policy on our network... Bogus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMadoka Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 But then why can I set that in Windows Explorer but not in Autocad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It works for me too. The only thing I can think of is that this may be a workspace settings change. In WSSETTINGS are you automatically saving workspace changes? If not, try it. If you don't want to automatically save workspace changes, then simply save the current workspace again, after setting the filedia columns.

Bogus! I don't understand where you are picking "properties". I simply right click the column header bar and a list of column headings appears. I pick one, for instance "create date", it appears, and stays for good. Wait a minute. It works for me in 2015 on Win 8, but not in 2009 on win 7. Maybe it's a Win 7 setting. I don't even have to close AutoCad to lose the column. I only have to change folders, the come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's an AutoCAD 2009 thing. IIRC, 2009 was not built for Win7, hence the lack of support on some items, like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You make the changes in Windows Explorer and then Tools>Folder Options...>View>Apply to Folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
