OPEN / SAVE / NEW DIALOG BOX M

Dear fellows,
 
In AutoCad 2006, when I want to open a new or existing drawing or template, instead of regular dialog box I receive only a prompter dialog which is present in the command line also, asking me for the name of the drawing that I want to open; it is the case also when I want to save a drawing too. I already checked the "Options" under the "Open and Save" tab and everything looks to be in order. How can I resolve this bothering problem since I am able to perform the above tasks only accessing "Windows explorer"?
 
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Best regards,
 
 
VALAH

type "FILEDIA" and change it's setting. It will be on either 1 or 0. Change it to the other and see if that helps.

FILEDIA is the correct variable.Should be turned on to get the dialog.1 = ON, 0 = OFF.
 
Also, if you're faced with that, the ~ will force the dialog so you can finish the open command and then turn filedia on.Here's a quick look:
 

Command: FILEDIAEnter new value for FILEDIA : 1Command: OPEN//^---Open dialog showsCommand: FILEDIAEnter new value for FILEDIA : 0Command: OPENEnter name of drawing to open : ~//^---entering the ~ for the file name will force the dialog so you can finish the command

controls the display of dialog boxes used with commands that read and write files. For example, if FILEDIA is set to 1, saveas displays the Save Drawing As dialog box. If FILEDIA is set to 0, SAVEAS displays prompts on the command line. The procedures in this documentation assume that FILEDIA is set to 1. Even when FILEDIA is set to 0, you can display a file dialog box by entering a tilde (~) at the first prompt.

It worked for me too! :-)

FILEDIA, PICKADD and PICKFIRST seem to be the route of many curious problems..... but how come they get changed when the OP has never heard of them?

thats a good question

They can be changed by poorly written lisp routines that fail to reset system variables upon completing whatever task they were designed to do.

Third party apps and even AutoCAD commands that are not set up to restore Variables to their previous settings when cancelled.
